Names of Witesses don't show on the Person View of the Principal(s).

What you might try is to create a Custom Tag (say BirthDr). Then add that
tag to the Physician with the child as the Witness. With the Doctor as a
Witness to the Birth tag and the child as the Witness to the BirthDr tag,
then you can show both at the same time. This is a bit of overkill, but
the only way to show both persons at the same time for both individuals.

Hope this helps -
