Bingo. I could have delivered both of my kids, right up to the point the first one was choking to death and needed an emergency caesarean delivery. Seven minutes from birthing room to split wide open dragging a kid out of the wife's belly. Second kid was just as easy, anyone could have done it, right up to the point that she wouldn't breath.
Me in charge? Dead kids. Doctor in charge? Crazy moments = two healthy kids.
