Roy to retire from medicine in Kansas
Dr. Bill Roy plans to retire from obstetrical practice next week after delivering 8,000 babies. The 63 year old Democrat served Kansas 2nd District in Congress from 1971 to 1975 and tried twice for the Senate. He will pursue health policy teaching and a nationwide insurance plan while remaining active in public life. He cites rising costs, malpractice pressure, and insurance-company second guessing as factors making medical practice less fun and more burdensome.
