re: The USDA is Getting Into the Hospital Business

Yeah, there really is.

Actual delivery doesn’t necessarily need much tech. Prenatal care? Lots of tech such as sonograms and other diagnostic tools.

And a lack of those tools could lead to a lawsuit depending on the results of a pregnancy.


If the child didn’t develop properly for whatever reason and it wasn’t caught before birth, lawsuit.

If there was a difficult delivery and the baby had lingering damage (partial facial paralysis, impeded growth, etc), lawsuit.

Etc.

It is why a lot of specialties don’t work in small states because being one of the few providers in that field means that any bad cases in the entire state frick your malpractice rates.
