Better get used to it:
Medical malpractice insurance for obstetricians and gynecologists could become so expensive that only hospitals “” and the doctors under their insurance umbrellas “” could afford coverage for birthings.For expectant moms it means their gynecologists, after shepherding them through nine months, would hand them over to a “laborist” “” a hospital staff doctor specializing in delivering babies.
“I think it’s going to compromise the care,” said Dr. David Herzog, who is an attending physician and also teaches at Richmond University Medical Center on Staten Island. A baby’s birth will become “a sterile procedure instead of a beautiful experience; it’s inevitable if the current system continues as is.”
