What Bafriend said, exactly.
I'm so sorry, Daphne. Neuros can be so dumb sometimes. I wouldn't do anything, until you talk with the Doc. He was probably shoving all his last minute duties off on his assist/nurse, before his vacation. She probably didn't know any more than you do.
Relax, with a nce glass of wine or a hot chocolate and rest, until he gets back....and call me in the morning.
