Hmmm... I find it a bit suspect when doctors are hawking vitamins and other such things in their offices. Seems to me that they are in pursuit of th Almighty Dollar and forgot why they went into medicine. And, National Healthcare is going to make things even more difficult. If doctors aren't paid well and are on salary vs. "fee based" the number of procedures that they will do will plummet.
And, I do know of an OB Doc who closed up shop due to high malpractice. On the other hand, with the rise of physician owned Surgicenters many of them are seeing their incomes skyrocket as well. Depends which track you get on.
