My favorite writer, :-)
You have done a excelent picture of the MDs and lawers in USA and I may
conclude that the picture is rather similar here in Brasil.Some of us
joke calling the corporation of MD as the "white mafia"(for their
corporative self preservation) and saying that all lawers are thieves as
a rule...(if you can see this as a joke).
Best of the best to you,
