Yes, but midwifery isn't necessarily medical stuff, only when things go wrong. I'll have to watch it again to see what exactly is going wrong (I vaguely remember 'Woe, woe, she's having a baby so she's automatically DOOMED' type stuff, which also annoyed me, but don't recall any specifics.) But fair point, it really is (mostly) a specialist rant, though I must also say that it irritates me that TV is promoting this 'OMG birth is scary and dangerous and we can't do it without a DOCTOR' attitude; that said, I suppose it's (unfortunately) only reflecting that attitude of the Great American Public.
I'm quite ranty on the end of Revenge of the Sith, too. ;-)
That wonderful simile isn't mine, I'm afraid; I nicked it from Dorothy Sayers.
