Medical Malpractice

How do I decide between medical school and law school?

For all you doctors, why did you become a doctor? For all you lawyers, why did you become a lawyer? What drawed you to your proffesion?

1. lawyers suck
2. Do you like helping people? = doctor Do you like arguing with people? = lawyer
3. Smart lawyers can make as much as doctors, but they don't get to see people nekkid.
4. flip a coin im serious their is a fifty fifty chance that you pick the right thing
5. Figure out whats your passion in life, and go for it.
6. There is no right or wrong answer here. I'd say doctor. You can help people. Save lives, save children, save people. YOU DECIDE. You are only getting one life for sure. Make the best of it.
7. I am sorry, hope you don't mind I sure my 2 cents. I think you should decide to be come a doctor or a lawyer because of your interesting and also how much difference can that impact the world. you can making difference of both of them. but I think everyone always need a doctor but not everyone need a laywer. and some times some laywer tend to forgot the original purpose they become the laywer, not just to win the debate or a case. it is stand for the right. it is easy to say now, but once you become a laywer with so many school debts, and no job would you accept your first and only case and you have win the case even though you might be fight for the wrong side. that's something to think about it. on other hand, not all doctor are perfect but most case you're saving life and you have more chance to stay a good person and making more positive difference. good luck. hope you choose your life to be someone making difference. remember we can not all do great thing but we can all do small thing with great love. don't choose for money. choose that when you leave the world, this world will be a better place because of you. PS I am not a doctor or a laywer. thanks
8. Either way you wanna be a "blood sucking lawyer" , or "blood sucking doc" one way or another ...you'll end up becoming a greedy .*b/it/ch*.. sucking people $$$ out of all those needy and their saving then put all the tax payers in to their miserable life. What's wrong with engineers or astronaut So choose your path and stop whinning ..**b it.ch**
9. I think it depends on your personality. Do you prefer something more fast paced that will keep you on your toes like a doctor, or are you the type who loves getting your head into books and researching decisions? If so, then a lawyer would probably be better. While there will (sometimes) be action in the courtroom, much of being a lawyer is research, writing, reading, etc. Doctor will, of course, have that while in school, and you can continue to learn and read, but will be more hands on and have more 'action'. That's how I would base my decision, at least.
10. Dr requires a lot of memorizing, Lawyer requires same plus logic/ debate skills. Dr.s hours suck See if you can do some job shadowing. Talk to those in the job already. check out the divorce/ suicide rates of each career. finally do the T test. On sheet of paper draw large T. over top write question, right column is plus side, left is minus. do 3, one for each career, then a comparitive. which one can you live with.
