You need to spin that thought around to say she was a nurse with attitude! Someone who was busy with the task at hand in preparation to make sure the surgery site was accurate.
I was in the holding bay when the Prof came in to assure me he was going to look after me and he wanted to know how I coped with the Sentinel Node Biopsy, which was the evening before. I was first into surgery. Once I was wheeled into surgery he started drawing. Difference here for me, compared to what you had to say, is that he kept talking to me and reassuring me.
Attitude is a comment I have just read about the party that's being organised.
Try and spin it around otherwise you are going to drive yourself even more nutty! Hope your next appointment with the Counsellor isn't too far away.
Take care
