A friend of my suffers from Transverse Myelitis. He runs a large and complicated business. At one point his doctor order a spinal tap. This is all they told him before the appointment.

After the procedure they informed him that he needed to go home and rest and remain immobile, to avoid a problem with the tap.

Since the doctor's team neglected to inform him of this beforehand, his calendar was full. Now he had to cancel important meeting with short notice, adding stress to his life. He was angry, and with good reason.

My friend said their attitude was: "Well your health is more important!" They took his anger as an argument to return to work faster than medically indicated. His anger was not being told beforehand.
