Hmmm. I would have to assume that he or a colleague close to him, has been set up before. Someone very close to me, an absolute professional was set up badly. He was researched and targeted and even though he decisively won the issue in courts, his reputation was destroyed. Having a healthy awareness that predatory women exist is wise. Even though in this case it clearly wasn’t so, but how would he know? I have to side with your husband on this. The Doctor had a gut feeling and it made him uncomfortable. Don’t we always say “ listen to your intuition?” Especially to women, trust your gut. He didn’t like it. He wanted out of a possibly indefensible corner. If she had a medical emergency then I’m sure she would have found another support. It’s much easier to put yourself in this woman’s shoes. One mistake, one benefit of the doubt can kill a man in this day and age. How could he know?
