Nope. I can handle the sonic screwdriver as the Swiss army knife of the Who Universe.
The Doctor has with very little technology at hand. He gets his ship, which routinely ignores him, sends sparks flying, or causes the universe to nearly come unglued, and a sonic screwdriver that isn't even the world's ultimate lockpick.
The man has to face enough obstacles. Let the screwdriver remove a few for the guy.

It's a magic wand. Like Harry Potter. Like sending troops to Iraq. Can't be bothered to actually think about what you've just written? --No problem, wave the magic wand and it's all fixed just the way you want it.

The story of my life. I finally find a city like this, intact, deserted for ten thousand years, probably contains hundreds of patents that I can exploit--and I'm going to die. I can appreciate dramatic irony as much as the next person, but this is pushing it a bit. --Max Eilerson, Crusade "War Zone"

I liked the sonic screwdriver better in the original series when the Doctor used it to open locks. Now it seems to be able to do anything from opening locks to scanning for energy signatures to healing the sick. I think changing it from a neat tool into a magic wand was a big mistake. What say you?

I say it's only a bad thing when it goes completely out of the realm of possibility of what sonic waves could do/measure.The healing of wounds is a bit iffy, but I think most everything else has some degree of plausibility.
