Summary

This quote highlights the contrasting perspectives of a midwife and an obstetrician towards childbirth. The midwife, experienced in delivering babies, views it as a natural phenomenon and only intervenes if complications arise. For them, childbirth is seen as an ordinary occurrence. On the other hand, the obstetrician, trained to handle complicated births, tends to perceive childbirth as inherently troublesome. Therefore, if the obstetrician refrains from intervening and everything goes smoothly, they consider it a miraculous event. The quote sheds light on the different attitudes and viewpoints towards the same event based on individual expertise and experience.
