ok, to speak as a physician on this subject, I ruled out OB/GYN for this very reason. Women get upset over these sort of questions, but I would NEVER treat a woman of childbearing age without contemplating the possibility of pregnancy. The possibility that she will meet someone down the road and change her mind about children is both real and statistically common. The fact that the pt. tells me that she doesn't plan on having children is irrelevant to her ability to sue later, and there is no legal documents I am aware of that can prevent such litigation. I cannot fathom OB/GYN as an option due to the incredibly high malpractice insurance.
