A topic I usually miss from the discussion: gynecology and obstetrics practices.

The specialty with the most women is pediatrics, followed by child psychiatry, followed by obstetrics, followed by – you get the picture.

For example, our hospital did obstetrics more as a service to the community, since other hospitals were much further, but they always lost money on it.
