Message: <blockquote data-quote="Baron Opal II" data-source="post: 9260337" data-attributes="member: 6794067">Part of the ... fascination of this thread for me is observing the practice of a different highly technical and precise profession. In my profession details matter, critically so. It's been impressed on me over the years that Law is the same. There are specialties and sub-divisions where two professionals could both be lawyers but be able to converse for hours and both would learn about things they never heard of. We have at least four people of the profession in the thread, from as many specialties and at least two different countries. So far all of them have said some variety of "even my child knows you don't do that."The closest analogy I can think of is when a patient comes in for an acute or planned surgery and we discover they have a concurrent pneumonia, or gallbladder issue comes up, or something unrelated to the planned procedure the surgeon calls in a hospitalist. A medical practitioner who's skilled in a variety of acute issues that handles everything beyond steel and stiches. There are some surgeons a touch too proud to do that, and the rest of the team has to hold their hand and guide them to better decisions. "Be the neck"* as it were.Much of the lawyer's antics in this case remind me of a surgeon thinking "I got this!" and moving forward without understanding or knowing that certain details are important. After too many blunders, the surgeon, Surgical Head, and Medical Director have an intense meeting behind closed doors and either we see a radical change in behavior or we don't see them again.* My Big Fat Greek Wedding reference </blockquote>
