A few months ago I was robbed on a street and pushed to the ground. Many weeks later an injury was not healing and my doctor decided I required a surgeons opinion. My doctor typed a short letter to the surgeon with medical info on my injury and included I have ptsd as a result of the incident. I had surgery, while I was in recovery, I overheard a nurse speaking to my surgeon. The nurse said "She was robbed and attacked?" The surgeon said "I only asked her a few questions. Its affected her mentally."

At the moment I was wide awake and not still drugged up. I admit some of my deciphering skills are not the greatest.

*Does it sound like the surgeon was acting respectful to my situation regarding the discussion with the nurse (described above)? *

Both my consultation and surgery day he seemed normal, pleasant, and not rude. Maybe he decided not to probe too much because it would potentially upset me? Its not a big deal to me if they ask questions or decide to not say anything.

The reason for asking this is due to many bad experiences with doctors. Rude, judging etc. So I automatically think the worst.
