Personal injury attorneys
Please, explain. You get injured due to a tort committed by another entity--what happens? Are you planning on representing yourself? Have fun getting fricked by the insurance adjuster.

Ethically or sexually?
From your suggestions, car salesman has to be the worst.
I know quite a few of them.
They know not to talk shop with me because I'll walk out of the conversation quicker than you can say loan.
But the shite I hear them say to other people makes me sick. It's a shite job.
I don't blame them for taking dumbasses though. They have a job because people are idiots. More power to them.

Pharmaceutical manufacturers. As a pharmacist I can say they are very sleazy in the way they manipulate laws and insurances. Especially the insulin and COPD/asthma inhaler manufacturers. They make billions and are bankrupting the sick and Medicare.
Also, I don't think emergency vets are necessarily "sleazy," they are highly skilled doctors... but the huge bills can be really SHOCKING. I understand they probably have to overcharge since many can't pay up after service.

frick yeah. The world would be so much better without metformin/januvia/advair. Let's not even mention harvoni/sovaldi and chemo drugs. frick those evil corporations for providing a valuable service and trying to create a profit for their owners while paying thousands of highly educated employees a competitive salary.

Your sarcasm font is working.
Metfomin is free at my pharmacy.
If a patient has diabetes and COPD and has Medicare, they are in the gap by April. That means they pay half.
Advair inhaler is $400 a month, Lantus insulin is $300.
When I started in pharmacy the OTC fast acting insulins were $25. Now all formulations are $125+, with the the exception of 3 types of 40 year old formulas which are available ONLY at Walmart for $25. Eli Lilly "allows" them to sell the same thing that we are forced to charge $130 for...because they charge US $110 to order it. These types of excluding agreements are wrong and SLEAZY! It has nothing to do with new research or competitive salaries!
Also, generics for the inhalers are available in Europe and other countries for a fraction of the price. Once patients are in the gap they either stop using the med (costly!) or they order outside the US. Or they go to charity pharmacies. It's a ridiculous, sleazy game.
I would do my job for 30% less because I enjoy it. I just want to help people but the insurance and unfair contracts get in the way.
