this is not overly concerning because we are still in the top 5. The difference between 1 and 5 may not be that much. so go MDs.

it is good to know that the genaral public equates lawyers close to car salesman.

I agree, although it's not that surprising. Lawyers have definitely earned their reputation.

1. An elderly patient needed a heart transplant and discussed his options with his doctor.

The doctor said, “We have three possible donors; tell me which one you want to use. One is a young, healthy athlete who died in an automobile accident. The second is a middle-aged businessman who never drank or smoked and who died in his private plane. The third is an attorney who just died after practicing law for 30 years.”

“I’ll take the lawyer’s heart,” said the patient.

After a successful transplant, the doctor asked the patient why he had chosen the donor he did.

“It was easy,” the patient replied. “I wanted a heart that hadn’t been used.”

===================================================
2. A woman who was diagnosed as being terminally ill was told she needed a brain transplant using a 1-1/2 pound brain.

She was also informed that a 1-1/2 pound brain of a surgeon would cost $500 and the 1-1/2 pound brain of a movie star $600.

She replied that since her father had been a famous lawyer she would prefer a lawyer brain. That’s fine, she was told, but that will cost you $10,000.

“What?” she replied incredulously. “If a surgeon's brain only costs $500, why does a lawyer’s brain cost $10,000?”

“Do you have any idea how many lawyers it takes to get 1-1/2 pounds of brain?” the doctor replied.

so a guy is lost hopelessly in the desert, wanders for miles and miles, and is on the verge of passing out and never waking up again, when he stumbles across a strange, golden lamp of some sort. as he brushes the sand off the thing, green mist issues forth from the mouth of the lamp, and (wouldn't you know it) a genie appears.

"i will grant you any three wishes you desire, oh great master. But before you wish, know this--whatever you wish for, i shall surely grant it to you, but every lawyer in the world will receive the same thing, only twice as much."

frowning, the guy ponders the situation. finally, he speaks.

"for my first wish, genie, i wish to have 100 million dollars."

instantly, the man is a multi-millionaire, and at the same time, every lawyer on earth receives 200 million bucks.

"for my second wish, genie, i wish to be incredibly attractive."

no sooner does the last word leave his mouth, and the man is an adonis among mere mortals. Simultaneously, every lawyer alive becomes twice as attractive.

"for my last wish, great genie...well, i've always wanted to donate a kidney."

An old Baptist preacher was in the hospital dying from incurable cancer. His oncologist came to him to let him know that there was no hope and that he would probably not survive the night. The preacher said he understood, and thanked the doctor for all his efforts. The doctor then asked the preacher if there was anything he could do to make his last hours more comfortable. "Doctor, I understand that there are two lawyers on the next floor who are in here for plastic surgery, can you bring them down here and put one on each side of me?" "That's a strange request", replied the doctor, "why would you want me to do that?" Well" replied the preacher, "I want to die exactly like Jesus did, with a THIEF on each side!"

Doctors lie, nurses lie, patients lie. So there.
