The good news is that you don't choose a medical specialty until you're almost done with medical school.
You certainly CAN become both an anesthesiologist and an OB/GYN, but you'd have to do two separate residencies. Anesthesia is 4 years and OB/GYN is another 4 years. You wouldn't earn any additional money by having two specialties, and one specialty is enough to keep anyone busy as many hours as they want to work.
Starting salaries for ANY physician vary widely, and depend on the area of the country, type of practice (academic vs. private), type of group, and a zillion other things that you shouldn't even be concerned with, unless you're finishing your residency and actually looking ofr a job.
Insurance costs also vary depending on which state you're in, whether it's a claims made or occurrence policy, the procedures you want coverage for, your coverage limits, and other things. It might be as low as $15-20,000 a year or over $100,000 a year. That's up to the insurance company that writes your coverage.
And about being a perv... if you go to medical school, you'll have your hands in places you'd never thought you would. If that puts you off, steer clear of medicine.
Are you in medical school? Something in your questioning doesn't sound quite right. Anyway you can get a rough idea re salary on the Kaiser website. Roughly 225K for Anesthesiology and obgyn. If you specialize in obgyn and do a fellowship it's around 300K. These are rough estimates.
If the thought of people calling you weird or a perv is what comes to your mind when thinking about becoming an ob/gyn, then you need to reconsider. There is nothing strange, abnormal or shameful in dealing with the health of women and helping to bring life into this world. The medical field is a serious and rewarding profession and there are many specialties to choose from. Do some research online about the different specialties of medicine and choose a profession that you would enjoy based on what you would like to ultimately do; not based on salary or other people's opinions. It takes a real dedication from the heart, but is well worth it.
