In recent communication, neither she nor her mother mentioned the pregnancy. Should I say something?
Do you truly think this baby is supposed to be a secret? Or are we making a rhetorical point that there should have been an announcement?
I generally visit these patients either between surgeries during the day, or in the evening after I am done with my clinic or operations. The last time this happened, I stood there for several minutes while the patient asked the caller “what he was up to” and discussed their recent social activities. In that situation, I interrupted, saying, “If you need to take this call, I can come back later.” But I’m not sure that this was the most appropriate way to handle it.
What should I do? Is there a polite way for me to ask them to defer a non-urgent call so that I can complete my assessment?Not having, herself, a shred of medical training, you will, politely, correct Miss Manners if she is mistaken in her understanding that, after completing the difficult bits in an operation, surgeons are allowed to leave “closing up” to assistants.
