Brooklyn ob-gyn Dr. Jacqueline Perlman tells the Post, "I've decided to retire from obstetrics. It breaks my heart. Malpractice costs are a big part of it. It's a very sad story." Obstetricians are considered high-risk and her insurance was canceled—and even though she never had a malpractice suit or settlement, a new insurer wanted $160,000/year. Plus, she said "her income has dropped by 20 percent" as the malpractice costs have gone up.

Greenpoint ladies, there's a new doctor in town, or at least an old one with a new marketing campaign. Dr. Leon Nitkin has posted ads for his OB/GYN practice on some "of the newly-renovated buildings on the south side of Greenpoint Ave b/t Manhattan and Franklin. Everything about it says 'please don’t let this man touch your privates, even in a medical context.'" Well, not everyone can be as web-savvy as Dr. Parkinson or his Hello Health franchise. Anyway, the doc appears to be legit, maybe he just needs to ditch the over-eager smile and bowtie. And Pistols and Popcorn saw the ads on Jay Street.
