the natural born enemy of physicians everywhere. a huge reason why healthcare in, for example, Pennsylvania is worse in every manner than in California. a terrible bastardization of the justice system, they hope for a lottery, shotgunning all parties involved in a particular accident in the hopes that one of these days they'll hit the jackpot. this takes away resources from people who have real claims as well as from hospitals/managed-care companies that are forced to charge more.
A: So what do you do for a living?
B: I'm a general surgeon.
A: No way! Wow, so you must make a lot of money!
B: You'd think so. My gross income is about $250K/yr pretax, but end up throwing 50% of it to malpractice insurance.
A: Wow, so doctors aren't really that greedy?
B: Generally not. In fact, if people didn't subscribe to ambulance chasers as important sources of justice, that would bring down my malpractice insurance, allowing me to see more patients while lowering my fees.

interruption in college classes that allows college students (and skeezy old men/soldiers) to enter a weeklong frenzy of debauchery as an escape from the rigors of school and the cold of winter. often means less to west coasters, who actually experience "sunlight" during the winter.
I never realized just how awesome spring break was until I moved from Los Angeles to Philly. I just thought that chicks sunbathing in bikinis were the norm.
