I hear it a lot about doctors and coke. I knew one, a
young heart surgeon, who died in his sleep at age 40
(probably not drug-related) and heard last year about
another doctor, who was in my 7th grade class, who was
arrested on murder charges, apparently drug related.

I think lawyers aren't innoncent either. Give anybody a
bunch of money and they'll probably go crazy.
