I wouldn't theorize anything. Tell the administrative assistant that even if you did know what was going on, you won't tell her because it is not up to you, that would be up to the principal to share that private medical information with the admin asst when and if she chooses to. PLEASE tell me you haven't been throwing around terms like hepatitis and cirrhosis with the administrative assistant. Because most people associate those diseases with alcoholism/STDs. So then a rumor just got started that nurse Mackey thinks the principal is an alcoholic and sexually promiscuous.
I miss this kind of stuff too, so I get it. But I am cringing reading your post about how much information you gave and speculation you made about this poor woman's social and health history, and current health problem.

Oh absolutely not! Both the admin assistant and myself were included in a group text with our principal about this current event. No theories were made on my part though I did have to redirect our admin assistant due to her personal research on the internet, which prompted the discussion. I simply told her we don't know enough to even speculate on what could be going on, and this seemed to suffice her. I was just trying to create a semi case study and realize it was poor taste to do so. Thanks for reeling me in, Ohio!

It was brought to my attention that the post originally included in this thread was in poor taste and I agreed. Please know that the info that was shared included every person that was mentioned and no guesses or theories were verbally mentioned. I was trying to create a semi case study and did it poorly. My apologies everyone!!!
