15/Secrets & Lies

The surgeon was youngish and extremely attractive. At the hospital shortly before my surgery I chatted with two friendly nurses, one of whom noted the name of my doctor. I said, "She's so pretty. And also very nice." I expected them to readily agree. But they didn't. They were uncharacteristically silent. It was a loud silence.

      Well, I guess the other chapter is that the surgeon didn't defend me when the anesthesiologist was being so nasty just prior to the surgery. She didn't say a word. But anesthesia aside, the surgery went well.
