Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

Going For the Deep Pockets

Going for the Deep Pockets

By Elton Camp

Too many lawyers seeking somebody to sue
From doctors & hospitals feel a living is due

So doctors and nurses are forced into CYA
For needless tests the patients then must pay

A doctor would surely be a most careless sort
Who didn’t ask, “How will this look in court?”

The lawyer who an ambulance used to chase
Is the same one who loves the doctors to face

Malpractice insurance has pockets so deep
But it makes the doctor’s fees terribly steep

So all he can do is charge patients more 
So such lawyers we all should simply abhor

In rare cases, a doctor is guilty as can be
A malpractice suit there I can actually see

But medical practice is surely an inexact art
And most such actions should never start

For what some lawyers do absolutely isn’t right
Such a one is nothing but an economic parasite
