A legal question... Options

I've never been involved in a lawsuit, nor have I witnessed the trial for one before. Will Ed have to wear an orange jumpsuit and shackles for the duration of the trial? To me, it seems like a real possibility, but I honestly don't know. What do you guys think the odds are on that? 5 to 1? I don't know.

Low blow. Your lawyer is your friend! Congrats, Bre, on law school. It's a very honorable profession. Truthfully, I can't stand any of the stuff you mentioned. On the first day of med school, we dissected a morbidly obese cadaver's back, and as I was digging out more fat and the pieces of it were pooling up in the formaldehyde, I dropped the giant skin flap I was holding up, it fell into the pool of loose fat and formaldehyde, and sprayed my partner in the face. Then there was the time I literally sawed a cadaver's skull in half using a manual, good old fashioned hacksaw and a lil' elbow grease. I knew then that it was psychiatry all the way. Suit and tie every day, no blood or shit. In a lot of ways, what I do is not too different from my dad, who is in real estate and tax law. Both fields are extremely dependent on and appreciative of language down to the word and subtle nuances can't be overlooked. Keep up your hard work man, and although we took seemingly different paths, hit me up if you ever want advice on balancing life with school.

What is your opinion of primary care physicians prescribing so-called antidepressants to patients? I often see this being done on an indefinite basis without any psychotherapy plan to accompany it. I imagine that must seem irresponsible to you and I am curious about your opinion on that.

Bremang - what law school are you attending?
