		<description>It always amazes me that malpractice is so low among lawyers compared to doctors.  We stereotype doctors as high and noble, and lawyers as slimy and backstabbing, but is that really the case?  In order to bring forward a malpractice case against a lawyer or doctor, one needs to find another lawyer/doctor in the same field who is willing to testify that what the first lawyer/doctor did was negligent.

Unless its an outrageously egregious offense, most lawyers simply refuse to speak against their colleagues.  They understand that an overly critical eye leads to defensive practice for everybody.  In medicine, on the other hand, there's a line of doctors out the door who are eager to criticize and belittle another doctor's care.  Perhaps we aren't so noble after all.</description>
