Also, you cannot discount the practice of defensive medicine resulting from the costs of litigation that filter down to all of us. When malpractice insurance is literally 6 figures in some specialties, you cannot say that litigation is the least of it. In OB-GYN, MDs are held responsible for the outcome of a pregnancy though they certainly do not control all the parameters. After years of expensive education and postgraduate training, many abandon high malpractice specialties and headaches like OB-GYN and other surgical subspecialties!
