Cathy Warwick epitomizes that self - serving blatherer that characterizes contemporary British midwifery:
the biological essentialist who believes that «natural» birth is more important than safe birth, the anti-rationalist who invokes «quantum theory» to explain why scientific evidence should be ignored in favor of midwives» opinions, the self - absorbed, self - referential, selfish woman who pretends that the needs of midwives are the same as the needs of women.
