Doctors Versus Lawyers.

lawyers take a keen delight trying to confuse medical experts in the witness box’in murder trials, and often they get paid back in their own coin. A case is recalled where v the lawyer, after exercising all his tangling tactics without' effect, looked quizzically at th£ doctor who was testifying and said: 4 “You must adn.lt that doctors sometimes make mistakes, won’t you?” “Oh, yes, the same as lawyers,” was he cool reply. rs, “And doctors’ mistakes are buried six feet under ground,?, was* the lawyer’s triumphant reply. “Yes,” he replied, ‘>nd the lawyers’ mistakes often swing in thfe air.”— Philadelphia Ledger.
