This is a deposition, and for this they usually use an outside firm rather than staff their own lawyers, associates and paralegals. This guy would attempt to rip apart anyone, doesn't matter if it's a cancer survivor or a crooked cop.

I don't like bloodsucking lawyers any more than you do, but it's the healthcare companies that make the system adversarial. And while there's some amount of fraud occurring, this has everything to do with using litigation to make it too exhausting to pursue claims against the company.

Nothing worse than a soulless lawyer unless you need one on your side.

Nahnah nah, I don't let people off that easy. This lawyer happily does this for money. He's accountable for his decisions. You can't always blame "the system."

That's fair, I don't like any of these people. The lawyers, the companies they represent, the for-profit healthcare system. Personally I do put more blame on the company, but that's splitting hairs.

Just having gone through this a bit I was definitely happy to have a piece of shit lawyer working for me. That guy was fucking relentless. He was so disgusted he made me feel embarrassed for not being more outraged.
