The ultimate goal of the Mnahattan-based management is to close the entire hospital. They are NOT committed to the Brooklyn community and do not care about women. Most Doctors in the OBGYN Department are fine doctors. OBGYN is hard work and lazy students will usually hate it in any hospital.

malpractice cost was not to blame, the debt sited is a 170 mil HUD mortgage on a billion dollards worth of property.
The closure is just part of a land grab by continuum health partners sell off the bulk of property and change a once great teaching hospital to an insignificant center.

I hate to speak badly about the hospital because in general, my training at LICH was rich and rewarding in all other departments... but except for 2-3 attendings on staff and 1-2 residents, that dept was a craphole and its probably best it was closed. Unfortunately it will be a disservice to the community who needs the care the most. <br/><br/>Calling it a 'victory for trial lawyers' sounds like an assumption based on a personal belief about lawyers (previous comment). If this dept closing is related to the director who was fired 1-2 years ago because of an infant injury/death (it was heavily rumored in the hospital but as a med student I could not know the details), who knows, the departmental closure might be justified and best for all in the end.
