Yes. And haven't all of us in fact seen that happen in large firms? And as bad as that is for lawyers to do, isn't it worse when a doctor does it? Maybe not if we are just talking about treating something minor, but the minor stuff is usually cheaper to treat and it seems less likely for that sort of stuff to happen when the cost of care is cheaper. But when a doctor doesn't do a proper work-up to save some HMO money and a cancer diagnosis is delayed, that seems worse to me than some lawyers overbilling a corporation.
