Date: 2008-10-08 12:36 am (UTC)There's a couple of things I want to bring your attention to.
One, when I worked at that hospital (and I did, on two different occasions, two different summers), two OBs would have been considered a small practice.
Only two left? There's hardly anything political (unless you consider the level of malpractice litigation in OB practices political) about it.
When I was born, the town had less than 20,000 residents. We didn't get a McDonald's in town until I was in High School.
Checking the wikipedia entry, the numbers look really low - I blame that on the fact everything is counted within the city limits - which is a very VERY small part of the geography. I never lived within the city limits - ever - for example. Most people don't.
They're saying the population has doubled - at least - since then. And there's only two OBs - and they're tired, worried about liability and find the costs unacceptable.
Someone tell me how that happened. We provided really good care with a smaller tax base, to a whole lot more people with more providers.
Tell me what happened to THAT. I want to know.
