High malpractice costs push Hutchinson anesthesiologist toward retirement
Dr. Joyce Sumner, one of four anesthesiologists in Hutchinson, says rising medical malpractice insurance premiums threaten her to retire. She reports only one of about 30 insurers offers a policy for her high risk specialty, at an exorbitant cost. The Reno County Medical Association president notes a part time anesthesiologist faced a premium near 20 000 dollars, potentially equal to earnings, risking loss of surgical care for the community. Two of Hutchinson’s remaining three anesthesiologists face renewal this fall.

Milk pricing plan issued
The Agriculture Department issued a new pricing regulation to ensure dairymen in the midwest and southwest receive the same high price for milk used in flavored drinks as bottling grade milk. The amendment covers 37 milksheds and ends the previous lower manufacturing grade rate for flavored-drink formulas. R W March of the Agricultural Marketing Service said the rule fosters fair competition among all handlers under federal minimum price rules.
