Both are people you tend to consult when things are not going well for you, in the one case physically and in the other case materially.
Both have a strong duty of client confidentiality.
Both have to study long and hard to qualify and have to continue in service training throughout their careers to keep up to date.

1. I disagree on the unfit issue. Almost all the doctors I have had were very fit. My last doctor before I moved he was an ex military doctor (he was my general practitioner), not bad looking. Do you notice how Coaches NEVER look good or healthy they have big stomachs. What's with that? 2. On Lawyers: Their whole existence is surrounded by money. They remind me of a shark. How would like to be married to a person who is a District Attorney or equivalent. I would never marry a lawyer. But I would want a "shark" when I need to be represented in court. :)

Hello,
(ANS) Both professions have to study long & hard for intensive degree level qualifications (and pass those degrees before they can practice). I think a degree in Medicine used to be 5years but it may now be shorter?
**Both professions are bound by oaths of professional practice i.e. for doctors its the Hippocratic oath.
**Both are normally members of the governing professional body, for doctors for example they must be members of the Royal College of GP's for family doctors. For lawyers I think they must be members of Bar?
**Both professions are bound by rules of "client confidentiality", because both deal with private & highly sensitive information which must remain private.
**Both professions deal in the analysis of facts & observations & attempt to find a solution or resolution to a problem/s.

The similarities? Education (although more so for doctors)...potentially huge salaries...the oriiginal idea of wanting to help people..although many lawyers lose that I think.
