Got myself a puzzle...

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.

Ruptured ovarian cyst?

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!

I predict she is suffering from some physical or emotional abnormality. But, since you're talking about a female, even that may not explain it . *crawls under my desk for protection from thrown objects*

You better drag MrNurse under the desk with you. He is guilty by association.

I stayed far away from that. I didn't even want to wish him to Rest In Peace for that fear.
