* I don't know about pediatricians but nurses working in labor and delivery can be responsible for the child's health until they are 18. Which means they can be sued for whatever until that baby they delivered is an adult.

The most common may be sprains or strains from lifting and handling your patients. With any health care provider, there is an exposure to Infectious Diseases, slips and falls from stepping into assorted liquids, electrical hazards from medical devices, chemical hazards from substances used in medical care, sanitizing surfaces, etc. My personal favorite is being bitten by a patient.
