re: Would you refer to this person as a “doctor” outside of an academic setting?
Posted by Joseph Bockrath on 3/31/22 at 7:45 pm to SlowFlowPro
In all seriousness, I laugh at every lawyer who allows people to refer to him as “Attorney Joe” or whatever. Once mediated a case with this guy who insisted on being called “Attorney [name],” but obviously we refused to call him that. It was like a movie.

You could hear a pin drop. I’m still amazed he didn’t get aggressively booed.

re: Pediatric Heart Specialist
Posted by Joseph Bockrath on 10/5/19 at 12:02 pm to drunkenpunkin
Let me be the fourth ITT to recommend Young. I had two heart surgeries at Oschner NOLA as a kid, and Dr. Young has been my cardiologist for a long time (Oschner keeps your pediatric team in-place until you are in your young 20s).
Anyway, since he knew me and my file, he still handles my yearly check-ups (I'm in my young 30s now). My wife and I have a little one on the way, and he is already looking to line up tests to check on baby Bockrath to see if I passed along my heart defect. I could not speak more highly of the guy. I live in BR now, but I will gladly drive to NO for me and little one to stay under his care.

You have lost your absolute mind. If you remove #3, Insurers would deny all first party claims and all insureds would be screwed. I'm sure homeowners would love that come the next hurricane or flood.
So your view is that an insured---as a party to an insurance contract---wouldn't have the ability to sue his insurer for dishonoring a contractual covenant absent the direct action statute?
This is probably wrong.

You people are so naive.
Every 18 wheeler or commercial vehicle on the road has at least a million dollars in liability coverage. If a greedy, unscrupulous plaintiff lawyer gets that case, there is NO WAY he is letting it go for soft tissue money. There is NO WAY he is settling it before filing suit. (Contingency goes up from 33% to 40% once suit is filed.)
You have to "work it up." You send him to the shake and bake doctor for a few months. No better? Well let's get some MRI's. Considering the fact that most adults over the age of 25 have some sort of disc pathology anyway, they will find a herniation or a bulge of something, which the plaintiff-friendly doctor will causally attribute to the accident.
Now it's time to start the money train rolling. Let's get some facet injections, maybe epidurals, maybe a more invasive diagnostic test like a discogram. And here comes the inevitable surgical recommendation. This man needs a fusion!
And when an attorney tells a client, "Hey, if you get the surgery, the value of your case triples," most will jump at the deal. "I just settled a neck surgery case for $750,000! Do you have any lost wages? We can send you to a voc rehab expert, and get the total value of the claim up over a million."
This is the ORDINARY COURSE OF THINGS. I see it every fricking day. I have at least 40 pending cases where that exact same scenario has played out.
No, it's not the insurance companies' fault. If you think that, you are are on team plaintiff, or you are a fricking idiot.
This guy gets it.

First, it's "Maine."
Second, if you're going to run a shtick account, try to do better than one that has been in use since December 2011 (pick Trahan and talk about Olide or something).
And don't worry... While the market is bloated and you'll soon be fighting with your classmates for the pleasure of leaching off of your betters in society in 1/10th hour intervals, you can---as your scintillating hypothetical illustrates---always take solace in the scholarly thrill of it all.
Enjoy 1L.

Yep. At a firm like Cravath, you MIGHT have a shot graduating in the top 1-3 people from a 50-100 ranked law school (better if you are in the office's market).
