Let's leave aside that a surgeon cannot operate without the infrastructure a hospital makes available to them in most cases. OR space, equipment, scrub nurses etc. If hospital management decides the risk is too high, the surgeon/obstetrician's hand are tied.
Let's say that's not an issue. Would you risk your career and livelihood in this scenario? It's easy to talk a big game but the vast majority of people would not. I can't blame them. I blame the legislators and those that elected them.
