I am just a first year and am far from set on future plans, but I have recently been exploring the possibility of going to law school after med school. I have a lot of passion with what I'm doing, but I also love the idea of arguing in a court room and defending my colleagues and my profession. I want to practice medicine and have a decent patient load, but also defend physicians in malpractice cases, go after the sharks (scuzzy malpractice attourney's that call themselves professionals), and go after insurance companies that screw doctors and patients they are supposed to be taking care of. I know that there are a few guys out there who practice law and have a medical practice as well. I'd like to make it about 50/50 ideally. Is there anyone else out there who is thinking about the possible double career?
