While I agree with the general gist of the conversation, I think it is pretty brutal to compare doctors to lawyers, considering a large portion of the second group basically preys on the first one.

The litigious nature of our society has brought the average cost of malpractice insurance to amounts as ridiculous as $200,000+/year in certain states, and in many cases the more you get involved the higher your premium. Most specialized doctors are virtually guaranteed to encounter several malpractice lawsuits in their careers, and I am not surprised they eventually start hating every patient the moment they walk through the door.
