There is no such thing as a Physician-Surgeon who does not know Law.
Aside from our extensive training in Medical School Proper (4 years): the first two years are set in understanding sold basic medical science and proficiency in Morals and Ethics Classes, and a class on integrative Medicine and Law, which teaches and elaborates what the power of the Physician is and how it applies to the population. As the Guardians of Society, the Physician is the shepherd of Health Care, the role of the Physician-Surgeon is increasing and his awareness on Laws that affect his patients, his powers, is quite extensive. The latter two (our 3rd and 4th years) are spent in the clinical setting in the understanding and implementation of: General Surgery, Family Practice, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Psychiatry and numerous specialty elective. And throughout this, our proficiency in law must be understood and expected. Following Medicine Proper, the Physician goes further Medical-Legal understanding throughout his Residency years (3-5 years), and then later on to proceed with Supra-Specialty Training.
Ours is the profession of 'never-ending studying, reading, discussing...'
Here in the United States, it is required that all Medical Students, Medical Interns have proficiency in the Law, as we are tested not only on medical science, but also on Legal prerogatives and its relation to Medicine.
Physicians are not only doctors of medicine, but some go on to become professors of medicine, teachers of health science, business owners, research scientists, as well as politics.
