1 in 3 Connecticut Doctors unhappy

I think this may be a key to the high c-section rates in the state, as well as the way other doctors among the state react to their patients.

A new report released by Connecticut Medicine details that out of 1,100 doctors in CT surveyed said that they are not happy as a provider in Connecticut. "The University of Connecticut Heath Center's Institute for Public Health Research surveyed nearly 1,100 practicing physicians in Connecticut. The results were published Wednesday in Connecticut Medicine, a journal of the Connecticut State Medical Society."
"
The doctors complained that malpractice insurance costs too much, managed care is imposing too many restrictions and the cost of living and doing business in Connecticut is too high. They're also not happy with the longer hours they're working."
