To be honest, I have yet to come into contact with an attorney, doctor, or person of any similar profession that either does or condones drugs. I work with one paralegal who admitted to having done marijuana, but whom no longer does because it affected her memory. I highly doubt you will find very many attorneys who are hyped up on heroine, or very many doctors doing cocaine that are also successful in their business practices. You may say there are one or two unique exceptions, but until I see any for myself (let alone a considerable amount) I am going to remain of the opinion that “recreational” drug use and drug addiction are not good business traits to have.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>You may not have encountered any that you know of, but they are out there. Attorneys and doctors have some of the highest rates of alcohol and drug abuse of any profession. As part of our continuing legal education in Ohio, attorneys have to take a class on substance abuse every two years. (It bugs me because I don't drink or smoke or ingest non-prescription pharmaceuticals.) They throw the prevalence statistics at us in almost every class. |
