She's not supid, she's just pregnant, stupid

Embryo Bearer's first encounter with the NHS midwifery service didn't go well. The midwife was so off-the-scale stupid it EB found it hard to stay in the room. The midwife, now known privately as DaleyB seemed to think chickenpox is an STI.
DB: 'Do you have any STIs? HIV-syphilis-clamydia-chickenpox...'
EB: 'Chickenpox is not an STI.'
DB: 'Oh, that's the next section. Sorry.'
DaleyB had not heard of gmail.
DB: 'What's your email address?'
EB: embryobearer@gmail.com
DB writes down @female.com. The Boy points out her error. It takes five minutes for her to grasp the concept of gmail. EB decides to register the domain femail.com and start a dotcom empire before DB has finished the forms.
At the next visit, she takes me along so that I can see just how stupid DB is. Stupidity as a spectator sport. Great. We get a different, lovely, intelligent midwife who recognises me. She delivered EB someteen years ago. She and EB go through the form that DB filled in. Most of it is missing and the rest wrong. They start again.

In the weeks between DB and intelligent midwife, EB gets a phone call from an NHS group that supports teen parents. It is for stupid people. More worryingly, DB had handed out EB's mobile number without her permission. The woman from the Stupid Group says 'you asked for me to call you'. EB pointed out that she didn't. 'You gave permisissin?' 'I didn't.'  The woman from Stupid Group  explains what will happen if EB attends the group:
'We will explain what pregnancy is.' [Bit late for that]. 'We will tell you all about what happens to your body in pregnancy.' The woman uses the most patronising tone that EB has heard for a long time. EB explains that she has many books she has been reading about how her body changes and she doesn't want to go to a group for teenagers.  EB is just back from a discussion with the genetics consultant about the three phenotypes of the genetic disease The Boy is a carrier for.  EB held her own, explaining to the consultant her understanding of the phenotypes, their implications and prevalence. The consultant asked if she was studying medicine. EB doesn't need a DB from the Stupid Group telling her where her womb is and what might be lurking there.

Now, we're not against the NHS providing information for people who know less than EB. But older parents aren't automatically invited to Stupid Group. They aren't spoken to in a patronising way that comes from an assumption that they know nothing. Why assume EB is stupid because she is young? Why assume anyone is stupid because they are young? EB's GP - who knows her well - had not mentioned Stupid Group, presumably because she knows just how inappropriate it would be for this bright, knowledgeable girl.
