Are you purposefully being dumb? [url]https://www.aamc.org/news-insights/labor-pains-ob-gyn-shortage[/url] "Half of U.S. counties lack a single OB-GYN..."By 2020, there will be up to 8,000 fewer OB-GYNs than needed, according to ACOG, and the number may rise to 22,000 by mid-century."

There is more than you and your OB at play here JFC.

This is actually interesting. Rural areas have always lacked the requisite number of medical professionals needed per population stats. But I wonder if less people are going into the medical professional overall, its a lot of hard work - becoming a certified OB/GYN is a minimum of 10 years with college/med school/residency/specialization, and that is also contributing to a lack of availability for specialty fields.

Actually, most go for specialties as they pay more; it's not worth becoming a PCP. OBs have high liability, so most prefer to stick with the GYN side only. And nobody wants to be in podunk, they actually have residency programs with foreign MDs for rural areas.[/quote]
