Here’s what the Bar does.

An Oklahoma judge repeatedly engaged in acts of, uh….self-gratifcation underneath his judicial robes during trials.

That’s plural, Bernie. Multiple occasions.

If a doctor got caught doing that in a patient exa room, he would get precisely one chance. There wouldn’t be a second time. He would get summary suspension. Not a trial to determine whether to take him away from patients, like they gave to this judge. The trial of the doc would happen AFTER the doc was taken away from patients, to determine if he could go back. The chance of getting back would be low, and at best would require very close supervision and psych evaluation.

I’m aware of cases this bad, with lawyers in my own county here. Sexual assaults on clients. One was in jail at the time. Repeated acts, where everyone knew about the particular lawyer. They went right back after a good, firm, slap on the wrist. No supervision. No psych evaluation. The lawyer is going right back to screw his clients. Literally.

When I see the Bar do that, in my back yard, and in the news from other states, when you take cheap shots like you did, all the docs do is look at you with contempt.

Me? I’m not a healer of any type. I’m a computer programmer. Sorry if I’ve lowered your opinion of alternative medicine.

And I think at least I contribute a few cheap laughs.

one lawyer and his staff earned 36 million dollars in just 5 years of practice.

grest sytem!

His suggestion is nothing new, although legislators should have taken it more seriously. With increasing awareness of the brutalities of the current tort system, compounded by irrational, unreliable, and unpredictable juries, this is really a good time to explore this issue.

One caution: So-called alternative healers should be banned from membership in these medical courts. They have nothing to contribute.
