Re: [MOPO] What's the best movie about your profession?
I work in health care; there are plenty of health care flicks and related TV series. "The Hospital" with George Scott (darkly) reminds me of the patients who 'fall thru the cracks' in the healthcare system with avoidable results, but improved workplace 'safety checks' have made that film distant history. "Grey's Anatomy" not so much for the event portrayal, but more so for the (supposed) private lives of the health care employees. The TV series can't touch reality.

Re: [MOPO] What's the best movie about your profession?
I'll start. I was an attorney for 20 years and definitely agree that "My Cousin Vinny" is the funniest movie about lawyering. It is not realistic in one sense: Most attorneys never try cases, contrary to popular belief, because the vast majority settle or are dismissed. (Likewise, in criminal cases, 95% of the time the defendant plea bargains.) I actually did second-chair one jury case. We represented the wife who was suing for divorce, child custody, and . I could write a screen-play about that crazy case! The husband owned the only porn store in the county and had ALLEGEDLY buried mountains of untaxed cash proceeds from the store. We presented lots of sleazy witnesses who described his shenanigans. Our client was cosmetically "enhanced" to the max and had received $100K in jewelry from husband. When questioned, she admitted she had condoned and benefitted from the shenanigans but could not quit working for the store because "I was the world's best vibrator salesperson!" Eventually, both parties became convinced the FBI was monitoring the trial and agreed to settle after four days of trial before they got arrested! * Your turn!
