The South's war on women and women's healthcare is another reason that's driving medical professionals to leave for richer, bigger cities... or at least areas that don't threaten you with the pit and gallows for providing life-saving care.
- devilbunny 3y agoEh. I’m at a Catholic hospital in the South. No abortions, no tubal ligations, no vasectomies. Are OB’s leaving? Some. But I already made my own peace with that. It’s a good job. I think that the stories are, shall we say, overtold. There are a lot of doctors who don’t deal with abortions at all, and it hasn’t changed our practice one whit. Women’s healthcare is a lot more than just abortions, even if they are the most obvious and prominent portion.
