Do oncologists get sued left and right like OBGYN's do? I think that was what he was referring to. Talk to any doctor...obgyn's get nailed a lot with law suits. I know several people who have been GP's for a long time who have had to quit delivering babies because the liability is too high.
And NEVER forget!
Don't apologize for any trivializing done on this thread! After what we went through to get Alito where he got today---a real protracted, forceps delivery---we're entitled to all the fun we can legally obtain.
(Not in my beloved Indiana, though!)
Because they're quitting in droves, can't afford liability insurance thanks to the likes of the Dems' most recent candidate for VP.
This line, this scene, will stand alongside the Hindenburg disaster filmclip in years to come.
When Social Security begins its meltdown around 2015, the deliberate sabotage of the last chance to fix it will be the enduring final epitaph of the Democratic Party. It will stand in mute testament to a political party willing to watch the economic enslavement of their own grandchildren, and sneer that... no matter- they won.
But then, for creatures who care not how history revile them, I suppose it is one pathetic win for them.
That was a pathetic bit of theatricality. I wonder how many centrists the commies lost b/c of that little outburst?
I thought this to be the most realistic statement he made. If you mean the part about 'their democracies won't look like ours.'
These people we're democratizing are less evolved than LA gang trash.
Yes, I believe the reason OB-GYN is the specialty most often raised in these discussions is because it has been hardest hit by practitioners leaving the field and too few entering. I have a doctor in the family (not OB-GYN) who has often mentioned the jury settlements for birth defect cases, etc. as among the most extreme of the torts and insurance problems for medicine, and the insurance rates for OB-GYNs often go through the roof in various states. fwiw, John Edwards made his fortune abusing the system to the hilt by winning multi-million dollar settlements in dubious to bogus claims against OB-GYNs.
Did you see the clip of Hillary jumping to her feet applauding when Bush said that? And he pointed at Congress and said, This problem is not going away?
I somehow think that might turn into a very nasty campaign commercial somehow.
One of my favorite moments was when he welcomed Alito to the Supreme Court. And what he said about the terrorists we haven't caught yet: "Your day will come." I got the feeling Bush was speaking directly to Zawahiri when he looked right at the camera and said that.
OB-GYN liability exists for their patients 21 years from their birth. No other speciality has that long a time frame for possible lawsuits. And their malpractice insurance costs are truly astronomical.
speciality = specialty. tired eyes, lazy fingers.
He did a good job controlling his audience (in the Senate chambers). But we've been warned. The world has become an alarmingly dangerous place, and I don't see another George Bush on the horizon. I worry for my republic. I truly do.
I think the video of the dems erupting over the SS statements is PRICELESS and would work well in repub commercials for 2006 and 2008.
Just like .. "we killed the Patriot Act".
Beat me to it.... Well said...

I sat with a room full of friends watching Kaine's speech and we were wondering if his eyebrow was permanently that way. I was actually feeling sorry for him, then suddenly- we saw it move. The entire room applauded. Kinda sad- when the only thing that anyone noticed about Kaine's speech was his eyebrow.
