That's not really a fair example. It's a court so appearances (regrettably) actually matter, and the doctor will most likely never have to work alongside the lawyer ever again. (Not to mention a lawyer in court will be completely mentally prepared for insults.)
If the doctor behaved the same way to a nurse asking about a particular patient, that would be toxic behaviour. All they had to say was "The checks weren't necessary, his brain was severed." Going out of your way to ridicule someone for a misunderstanding is completely unnecessary.
- normloman 13y agoAppearances matter in way more than court. There's also the "court of public opinion." Sarcasm is a powerful tool to criticize whats wrong with society, and it would be a shame if we banned it completely because a few bullies abused it. And I never said sarcasm was always appropriate. Obviously, a doctor should never talk to a nurse that way.
