I'm sorry she reacted like that, googley, it definitely wasn't very professional.
I wonder if maybe it triggered something in HER, and that's why she had to leave the room suddenly? Just a thought...I mean obviously it did trigger *something* in her, unless she was just in a hurry like rapunzel said, but I'm just wondering if maybe she doesn't have a history of sa and just wasn't prepared for the emotions she might have felt when you said that.
Either way you'd think this would have come up at some point prior to that in her medical career, so she should have been prepared at least somewhat for your reply.
