Our family doctor delivered hundreds of babies until the cost of malpractice insurance forece him to quit in the late eighties, so he was unable to deliver our eldest which was our wish. We needed some help and worked with a highly touted infertility specialist / OBGYN in the area who helped us and delivered our second in '90. Just 2 years later he stopped delivering due to the cost of insurance and out 3rd and 4th were not able to be delivered by either of the doctors we preferred.
Every field now charges/spends a huge percentage covering their asses against lawsuits, and this has to be addressed.

Incompetent doctors need to stop giving people excuses to sue.
Maybe if they just drop their insurance and file bankruptcy everytime someone sues so that the plaintiffs get nothing?
