Is there a type of job that mixes what a doctor and a lawyer does? -

I want to know whether or not there is a job that you can be a doctor and lawyer?? Or if there is a job that basically fuses those together??? I want to be something that requires law yet the medical field at the same time.

You could be a lawyer who practices in medical negligence (or most kinds of personal injury). But if you did this, you d be doing pretty much all legal work. The medical side of things would be done by a practising doctor. Of course, it would still be very handy to have a bit of medical knowledge so you can understand what the doctors reports say. Or you could be a medico-legal doctor, ie a doctor who specialises in preparing medical reports for legal cases. Then you d be doing all medical work, although you d have to have a good understanding of causation from a legal perspective, since a lot of the time causation is one of the hardest things to prove in court. You d also get to testify in court a fair bit if you did this.

I know a MD who has JD (a physician who is also a lawyer). You re talking about at least twenty years in college here. The first answer is correct.
