I found this article a great read and a good explaination of the difference between midwifery and obstetric care. A midwife is focused on the woman and what is best for her individually - she is an expert in normal birth. An obstetrician is focused on what the scientific research says and what course of action brings the least risk of beign sued. He/she is an expert in what is NOT normal - the few percent of women that need obstetric help.
