Not a lawyer myself, but a very good friend of mine is. Got a JD from Harvard, and a MD from Yale, and of course landed one of the úber-competitive residencies. He writes some articles about "Law and Medicine", but other than that, he says that he can't really use his legal background for anything.

Thing is, that it's mighty difficult to stay current in both law and medicine at the same time. I guess that a JD/MD can be an advantage if you want to move into management at a hospital or other such thing, but in reality I think it'll be mighty difficult to do both things half 'n' half. Despite the frequent interactions between the two professions, they don't really have anything in common...
