To any doctor who leaves a state because he/she can no longer kill preborn babies: good riddance!

Fear not Biden let in 7 million illegals in 23 months they breed like rabbits rooms soon to be filled.

Supply and demand.

More psych therapy, overdoses, and euthenasia rooms.

Completely tied.

I think the trial lawyers are responsible for a lot of maternity wards closing. Our regional hospital, which is not “small” by any means, stopped delivering babies ten years ago. When I asked one of the administrators why, she responded that the liability insurance was just simply prohibitive.

That’s not the case in my example. (My wife is on the “Executive” team that deals with that stuff here. I’ve eavesdropped on the calls—she sits at the kitchen table when working from home. Ha ha)

The “network” we have here has multiple hospitals with 45 minutes of each other. It is more likely the patents and docs prefer to go to a place that has NICUs, “just in case.” I think that patients look at the “country” hospital as less capable. Aside from a high risk situation, that’s simply not true. But try telling a pregnant 30 year old “professional” that.

So, no patients…then no doc is going to go there…then there is no need for support staff…and all of a sudden there isn’t a hospital.

Indeed.
All hospitals struggle. The smaller rural ones are slammed hard Many patients are on Medicare or Medicaid. The monetary payments are atrociously low ( have been since the sixties)

You can’t keep things running that way

Filth is not caused by too many people. It is caused by laziness

True that. It is docs and nurses are leaving in general

When your insurance cost for a single doc per year is half a mil docs just hang it up

Culture, and too many people with that culture.

I don't know what this article is going on about but the ‘’maternity ward’’ in my hospital(southern NJ) is going full blast. And it's no longer referred to as a ‘’maternity ward’’

It's called “Labor and Delivery’’ or simply “L&D’’. Quite a number of these babies are being born to illegal aliens and you and I are paying for it.
