I worked as a Workers Compensation defense lawyer for 20 years and I thought this process wouldn't be stressful for me. Boy was I wrong about that. What a relief.

yes, when it comes to us, it is very different.
Taking care of patients is not like being ill yourself, and defending your cause is very different then doing so for another person.
In fact in some ways it is even more stressful, because you feel like you are in the wrong role. This adds confusion to an already confusing situation.
