You could definitely comment on how Drs. Browne, Allen, and Lim aren't OB/GYN specialists and that they were Lea's doctors for the whole episode, sure. But suspend reality for a bit and appreciate some nuances with me -
When Asher is speaking with his patient (I'm so sorry to forget her name), he tells the story of his bubbe dying while he was in med school. His patient says "May her memory be for a blessing," the English translation of a Jewish condolence message. Many may remember this phrase being brought to public attention during the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 2020 in place of the Christianity-based "Rest in Peace".
Many open plotlines were continued in the back-and-forth scene of our ensemble of doctors giving Shaun and Lea advice. Claire's continued trauma from Neil's death, the IVF struggle of Dr. Andrews and his wife Isabel, and Dr. Allen's loss of "Junior". You might think that that's the possibly-aborted baby mentioned in 4.6, but some comedic relief is found in finding out that it's a tortoise. Who ran away. Ran.
Stepping out of the procedure room where Lea is receiving her DNC, Shaun sees Dr. Glassman and almost instantly goes for a hug. Remember that Shaun isn't all that big a fan of hugs, but he initiated one of very few here in his moment of grief.
For all of these tiny moments in the episode, I have to put it high on my list of favorite episodes of the series.
