[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if anyone will leave the practice, I imagine many obgyns become obgyns because they want to deliver babies. [/quote]

Check out this March of Dimes info on maternity care deserts. Pretty unnerving:  https://www.marchofdimes.org/maternity-care-deserts-report.

Is this really likely in the dmv? It’s different than South Dakota or some other rural area.

Poster whose guess is this is bc of increased liability insurance. I don’t think this is likely here but I wouldn’t be surprised if this sort of thing is why liability insurance probably skyrocketed.[/quote]

What makes you say you don't think this (ending OB care because of increased insurance $) is likely the case? You think some other reason? With the assumption that OBs who deliver babies enjoy providing OB care, the only two reasons I can come up with for the change are: (1) financial - and therefore insurance reasons or (2) ending their OB practice was part of settlement terms of a lawsuit.

Sorry this wasn’t clear. I was responding to the post about whether the issues in SD and elsewhere are likely in MD. I don’t think so. I meant I do think the dropping of OB case is bc of insurance costs, although the PP who points out they probably would have mentioned rising costs and the reasons makes a good argument. [/quote]
