The frustrating economics of aviation

Example; we have a close friend, a neuro surgeon. He's actually
leaving
our state and moving to another because he literally can't afford his
malpractice insurance. He's an excellent doctor.

You wouldn't be in Washington State by any change would you? We
just
had several family practice MDs in the eastern part of the state stop
delivering kids because of increases in insurance due to law suits.
I would like to think that it's not the number of law suits per
say,
but those one or two 'key suits' that change the environment.

I'm in an Eastern State. As I understand it, it is indeed the volume.
I'm not all that familiar with the particulars in the medical situation
aside from what I'm hearing from the doctors I know personally, but I
have seen the costs in the aviation industry soar through the roof as
aviation has been decimated by lawyers through my tenure in the
business.
