X instead of Y typically implies that Y had been expected, but X happened INSTEAD.
John chose a pen instead of a pencil.
Implication: John had been expected to choose a pencil, but he chose a pen INSTEAD.
In the SC above, instead implies the following: it had been expected that doctors would elect to face the threats of lawsuits, but they have elected to retire early INSTEAD.
Not the intended meaning.

X rather than Y typically implies that X is preferred to Y.
John chose a pen rather than a pencil.
Implicated: John PREFERRED a pen.
This is the intended meaning of the SC above:
Doctors do not want to face the threats of lawsuits.
They PREFER to retire early.
The result is the wording in the OA:
Doctors have elected to retire early RATHER THAN face the threats of lawsuits.
