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
