Show EI HAshimoto 5-11-84 s1:7 polite type of conversation we do with average Caucasian family. You say, hey, joe, how are you. How's your wife and so on.You might walk in and say, how do you do, youre looking well. How's your father and mother. And take maybe ten minutes of preparatory introductory talk befor-e you ~t down to the business of seeing the patient. But that's just a custom. I don~t believe my boy has learned that yet. Practice medicine. What's interesting. I'm not sorry that I went in the practiceof medicine. I hatedbusines~ecause of the competition and deciet that went along with it. Law I thought I would try one time when I was in high school, Iwas on the debate team. And a few other things. And then I decided, well, shucks, if I present my case b.efore a jry, I'd never get a fair trail formy client. L Why? EH BEcause of the prejudice, ethnic differences. And you wouldn't - ant htat still exists today. I've nver beeno n the winning side of a law suit yet. I've been down everal times. That may sound strange, but that's a fact. They might respect my position as a professor and every-thing else but when it comes down to the nitty gritty of guilty or not guilty, my client would lose out. That- 1n the early 1930s, earlier than that probably. That's one reasoin I decided not to go into law. I'd have to go into corporate law or something like that-It wouldn't be trial law. |
