I think WS must be pretty unaware of what is happening to both doctors & lawyers: large numbers of both are already proletarianized. Re lawyers, we had a thread on it some years ago: young lawyers in an unheated basement room getting shit wages for hard & boring work.

Emergency room doctors usually look dead tired -- & shag wrote recently on insurance companies determining time spent with patients.
