Bingo!

Some OB/GYN doctors pay over $100k or more for their malpractice.

This article is a bit dated, but it demonstrates the ridiculousness of that situation.

Precisely. As I'm sure you know, but many don't... Obstetrics doctors are liable to be sued until the 18th birthday of a child they deliver. There is no statute of limitations for OBs and a parent can sue the OB if they believe any possible error during deliver or even bad advice *could* have been the cause of any disability.

It's pathetic. It's no wonder no one wants to become a doctor any more.
