We have way too many residents today, and have had for decades. Why are
so many OB's doing less than 8 deliveries a month and 1 hyst a month,
and doing so much Primary Care? because there are so many that they
can't make a living doing OB-GYN that is why.
Why do we have people showing up to take their oral boards and they have
not done a hyst since they finished their residencies? Same reason. I
had 40 hysts and 200 high risk delivereis on my case list. No
NON_pregnant hypertensives or diabetics, etc.

I say bravo to residents willing to push for better lifestyles, which
would include IMHO wierd reimbursement programs such as being paid
appropriately and promptly and a decent rate...with differentials for

the game with third party reimbursements and government payment plans
and slid downt the slippery slope to where we are now, with payments
often falling below the cost of providing care, total loss of control of
costs and any ability to pass them onto payors, etc.

I think this will be an emerging problem. You are not increasing
residencies programs by a huge degree, plus, more people opting out of
ob (malpractice concerns) or lifestyle choices. The net effect will be a
shortage of providers though I think it is admirable that residents are
holding out for better lifestyles.

In spending more time with residents lately, I am struck by how
much more concerned about lifestyle issues they are than my fellow
residents and I were 25 years ago. I can't say i blame them, but it
doesn't bode well for the future. Have you gotten the same impression
where you are, Ashley?
And how will the current crop react when they get sued earlier
and earlier in their careers, as they undoubtedly will? It's a lot
easier to walk away when you're getting close to retirement.

I wonder how many of us decide to give up OB due to
lifestyle issues, or
because of a lawsuit, or because of a really bad case.
I know someone
who walked out of a terrible shoulder dystocia and said
"that's it," and
it was.
