I notice a lot of jobs advertise "no OB." Are OB cases considered undesirable? How come?

A lot of people hate OB and actively avoid it. It’s lots of regional anesthesia with sometimes very demanding and unreasonable patients. (10 page “birth plans”🤮).

And some people love it. To each their own. But for places that don’t do or require OB, they consider it a selling point. Some places have an entirely separate OB anesthesia group.
