The doctor is probably getting a kickback from Big Pharma.
Monty Python was on top of it in "The Meaning of Life: Birth" where it's all about justifying expenses.
Doctor: "Show it to the mother. Sedate her. Number the child. And isolate it!" (Incubator slams shut)
Mother: "Is it a boy or a girl?"
Doctor: "Its a little early to impose roles now, don't you think?"
VERY prescient for 1983!
