MARIETTA - After 24 years practicing general surgery at WellStar Cobb Hospital in Austell, Dr. Don Campbell plans to call it quits.
The 54 year-old physician says he will retire in two weeks, largely because of the rising cost of medical malpractice insurance that he and other surgeons are now forced to pay. Campbell now pays $68,000 a year for up to $2 million in insurance coverage per year - more than four times what he paid four years ago for half the coverage."A lot of physicians my age have moved up their retirement date," he said. "I would have easily worked well into my 60s if things had been more predictable."
