"These multidisciplinary specialists practice preventive medicine, deliver new lives into the world, and perform surgery. Most of their patients are healthy young women who come for pre-natal care or annual physical examinations. More than just experts on the pelvic region and reproductive tract, OB/GYN physicians must handle problems that require highly technical medical and surgical skills, and, at the other end of the spectrum, be sensitive observers who can give psychological support. They are compassionate, highly focused listeners and clinicians who render the highest quality medical and surgical care" (Freeman, p. 281).
