"Just be glad that our medical institutions don’t work like our justice system. Otherwise, trying to get a broken bone set by a surgeon would be like getting justice for yourself in court. The surgeon would refuse to set it unless you could tell him where it was broken – precisely. If you couldn’t, he would dismiss your complaint of agonizing pain as frivolous. And if you had words to say about that, and those who broke your bone, who might be his friends or colleagues, he would dismiss your case as frivolous and malicious – with prejudice. A lot more of us would be walking around, if we could, with bent and missing limbs.
Perhaps the Babylonian King Hammurabi, said to be the inventor of written law, should have included in his Code an oath for judges, as Hippocrates’ did for physicians – “First, do no harm.” "
