Now these two OB/GYNs and a certified midwife find that their medical training, skill and acumen are limited by state policy.“We didn't even know germs caused disease back then,” said Dr. Kristin Lyerly, an OB/GYN who lives in Green Bay.Like undertakers and garbage collectors, obstetricians see the nitty-gritty of human existence that can be gruesome and grotesque.
