Plea to doctors!

(Sung to the tune 'Achy Breaky Heart' by Billy Ray Cyrus)

Doctors stay away, we've no need for you today
We love you but can manage on our own
We will inform you when we can, or if things dont go to plan
But please respect the fact the midwives role has grown

Why is it today, there can be no small delay
Why is there a time limit to birth?
If mum and babe are fine, can't we have some extra time
So mum knows she's done her best for what its worth


Chorus 1:
Dont intervene, try not to be so keen
To send these women to the theatre bed
Cause if you intervene, you may just set the scene
For a lift out through the sunroof now instead


When certain things go down, we know we may need you around
We wont hesitiate to bleep you at this time
But what starts as ARM, can cascade to 'knife to skin'
And in our eyes this constitutes a crime

To conclude I'd like to say, that we'd like to have our way
And to reinforce we dont want you to leave
As sometimes there's a need, for baby's exit to have speed
But the rest in moderation if you please!


Chorus 2:
Dont intervene, try not to be so keen
To send these woman to the theatre bed
Just think about its place, and you'll reduce the section rate
And restore our faith in care midwifery led!
