Law & Ethics - December 2007

You attempt CPR and accidentally break one of his ribs, while trying to resuscitate him. The patient is revived and rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. He survives. But he wants to sue you for breaking his rib. If he wins, your medical career will be over and you will have to give up being a doctor and you and your family will have to give up your comfortable and carefree lifestyles. You will lose everything, the house, the maids, the buttler, the country club memberships, the jewelry, the cars, the boat, the Harley, the summer home in the Bahamas ...everything. And if you don't go to jail, you probably would have to find work at McDonalds, and that's only if they hire you.

Is it possible the man will win the lawsuit?

Im researching careers and i was just wondering if there is a type of lawyer that doesn't have to deal with appearing in court and the pressures of a courtroom, but they mainly do paperwork and work from their office. I just heard that there are lawyers out there that do that. Is this true?

Any law students/lawyers out there? I am a third-year law student, graduating in a couple weeks. I have to take my federal income tax (for individuals) on Monday morning and I am freaking out! The class actually ended a month ago, and I haven't looked at the material in a while. I'm tabbing my books right now, but I need a good outline or something. I always freak out about exams, but I am particularly freaked out about this one because I was so busy this semester that I fell behind in a couple classes. Any advice/outlines?

I work as a waiter in London and was sent home from work today for not shaving. (it was 2 days worth of stubble, nothing too serious). In the staff manual it reads . . . .'you can wear a beard, not grow a beard. Males should shave on a daily basis.'

My thoughts are that it only says I 'should' shave. Does this mean its compulsory?? and also what is the definition of a beard???
Could I not claim that my 2 days of stubble is my beard which I could grow during time off work!!
I realise they could find 'other reasons' to get rid of me but I have been told I shall receive a written warning which seems a bit harsh to me as my personal hygiene and appearence is excellent other than a little bit of stubble.

Any ideas people??

suppose someone posted unkind information about you, on a website. Do you have the right to take it down? What about pictures of the rich and famous on the internet? are these pictures protected by freedom of speech, meaning that even if they are embarrasing, the person who posted them should be aloud to do so?

ive been asked to take a polygraph test, the prosecutor says if i don't take one, or if i do and it comes out inconclusive or not 100% good she will press charges. they have no proof or evidence either. i think this is a scare tactic they use against people. i firmly don't believe in taking lie detector tests and my family agrees. we all know there not even admissible in any court or criminal case, so why do they rely on them so much unless they really have no evidence and they think by taking one they can at least get you arrested. all i can say is a sexual allegation came up about 8 months ago and they haven't done anything about it until now, cause were towards the start of the new year. i do have a lawyer and were raising money for my defense. how can they convict me of something with no proof, dna or witnesses ? and before i get stupid responses, i didn't do anything and this claim is stupid at best.

I have some overtime coming to me on my next paycheck... I know a few people from here who have worked overtime, except they didn't get paid for it. What the boss did was apparently pay them their regular 80 hours (2 weeks) pay and then gave them a seperate check. On this seperate check was their regular wage, for the hours overtime they worked. No taxes taken out.

I'd like to do this the legal way and also not get screwed out of money, and get a real, legal overtime check. If I do get this kind of illegal overtime check, how do I confront the boss without him getting mad, and without getting fired? (people have brought up the idea that it might upset him and make him fire me if I question his ways)

Some other minor points about the boss and my job: The boss used to be a cop, so I THINK he might have some sort of respect for laws and our legal system, hopefully. Also a lot of non-English speaking people work here, so I think this illegal overtime thing is to screw them out of money since they don't really understand? He's said before things about giving them the jobs that they "can handle" and "understand" so maybe he assumes they won't question this under-the-table way of paying overtime.

nor is there any visitation mentioned. Does this mean that the time is split evenly? Lately my ex has been taking extended vacations and leaving the kids with me and if it is joint shared custody, does this mean I should be compensated for the time away? We do have a parenting plan which just mentions the split of holidays and we are allowed a 2 week vacation during the summer months, etc.

I legally use 5 names right now (one first name, two middle names, and two last names from both mom and dad) and it shows on all my documents: drivers license, school transcripts, credit and tax information. I usually go by only my second middle name and it's such a hassle using all these names all the time. I've been thinking about a name change for the past couple of years to just change it from the name I usually use and only my dad's last name but it seems like it's such a hassle. I think I'd get confused on what to fill out on forms once I do get the legal name change or when to report my previous name vs. the new one. Does anyone who has had a name change offer up any advice or suggestions? Thanks!
