Hey peeps, check this out...

When Lawyers meet Doctors (in the court, no less)
Taken from this article: Things people actually said in court.
There's more where this came from but I'm just so blown away by the snide answers given by doctors who are obiviously not amused with lawyers asking stooopid questions using court English.

Q: Now doctor, isn’t it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn’t know about it until the next morning?
A: Did you actually pass the bar exam?
---
Q: Doctor, how many autopsies have you performed on dead people?
A: All my autopsies are performed on dead people.
---
Q: Do you recall the time that you examined the body?
A: The autopsy started around 8:30 p.m.
Q: And Mr. Dennington was dead at the time?
A: No, he was sitting on the table wondering why I wasdoing an autopsy.
---
Q: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
A: No.
Q: Did you check for blood pressure?
A: No.
Q: Did you check for breathing?
A: No.
Q: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
A: No.
Q: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
A: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
Q: But could the patient have still been alive,nevertheless?
A: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere.
