How much is a good surgeon worth? Ask surgeons in India, South Africa, Costa Rica, etc. The USA medical field is not immune.

"These figures are a bit dated -- median (meaning half higher, half lower, of course) malpractice premiums for some specialities (2008) -- FP/Int Med = $12,500 GP = $7,500 OB/GYN = $55,000 Peds = $12,500 All Primary Care docs = $17,500 I have known OB/GYNs with annual premiums in excess of $300K. I doubt anyone pays $4,000 if they're working full time" Given the amount of premium they pay in excess of the median, and assuming they are human, perhaps your acquaintances are poor OB/GYNs.
