    Thanks for biting.

      But I likely won't be recommending that doctor to anyone as either an expert or a treating physician.
      In personal injury matters, I've seen some reports from doctors who can't cobble together a three paragraph report to save their lives. I really lose respect for a supposed medical expert who can't apply the simple rules of grammar, spelling and writing that are taught in elementary school- especially where it's in a professional context. When you're paid to produce an expert report, why not at least run a spell check or have an assistant look it over before you pass it along to the attorney's office?

        Whenever I've been called as an expert witness, I made sure my wife double checked my work.

          I make sure that the attorney for the other party calls me DR. Williams, even correcting him once or twice. When he asks, "Dr. of what?" I respond, "Are you that unprepared?" The judge instructs me to answer the question, but we then mock the attorney over drinks at lunch. Jack McCoy high-fives me after the trial is over, and Dick Wolf writes me a big fat check.

            Rich people hire disabled people to accompany them to Disneyland so they don't have to wait in lines. It sounds like an episode of South Park.

                People have been doing this for years but not paying for it. Put someone in your party in a wheelchair and you are gtg. It has become rampant the past 5 years. We started calling it a fat pass, as that seemed to be the only "disability" we could find with most of these folks.

                  I am obviously not rich, but now have a reason to aspire to be so.

                    Yeah. These rich people are dumb for paying for it. I know lots of people who show up, check out a wheelchair at guest services and roll through the lines all day.

                          Cheap rich people, you mean. Because Disney does offer these services itself.
