"Midwife Crisis" - Season 04, Episode 06

- by Karen

Louisa has decided that she wants a midwife to help during the final weeks of her pregnancy. The Doc, of course, doesn't understand. Especially about why Louisa is refusing to follow his instructions concerning her current medical problem. The midwife definitely as issues concerning men and Louisa takes the bait at first. (Who can blame her - it feels good to tell the Doc where to go!) Not until she's in some pain from lack of antibiotics does she find her backbone and tell the midwife to take a hike. Annnd subsequently apologizes to the Doc.

The Doc is working hard to overcome his phobia. He's taking charge of the situation and is stitching up cuts, dipping his hands in blood, and drawing patients' blood. The great and powerful Oz (read: psychologist) sure has helped him find his courage again. But this proactive behavior by the Doc is making the surgery's phlebotomist feel quite insecure about her job.

Bert's got a new love interest. Sort of. Too bad she's married. With kids. She (and her husband) are feeling a little under the weather thanks to her recent culinary creations. But that doesn't stop her from falling under the spell of all 'commanding' men she comes in contact with. Including the Doc. Al's suspicious and warns good ol' Bert, but love is... as they say... blind.

We've got... London Calling, fresh roadkill, hearing test equipment from the 40s, massaging foot baths, jam thermometers being shoved in all the wrong places, and a little TMI about Louisa's medical problem. I'll just say it... those Portwennians sure know how to have a good time.

Enjoy Midwife Crisis...
