People yell at attorneys all the time. When I was a public defender, they would threaten to kill me or their families would threaten me. It wasn't necessarily fun -but it wasn't personal. They were having a much worse day than I was what with prison and all. I often agreed with them that the judge was unfair (often they are) and the cops lied (often they do). I had one guy who had videotaped himself committing a somewhat heinous crime - and he threatened me at every meeting and he eventually sued me for not raising an insufficiency of the evidence claim - with a clear video he himself had made of him doing the acts of which he was accused. Poor guy didn't win that one either.

With western medicine - I prefer to be dead over dealing with any of it. I am not going to beg any of them for drugs or their endless tests (although I do often wonder why I have to pay for insurance I rarely use and would prefer to just pay the md out of pocket). I will use herbs and Chinese Medicine and I have the final exit book memorized. I would rather die from a disease than from an aneurysm from dealing with the pointless bureaucracy.
