As Di said, this seems a rather abrupt way to give you the diagnosis. But maybe it's a safety mechanism for some doctors, in that detachment may seem like the only way of coping with so regularly having to give bad news.
I'm sorry it wasn...

I thoroughly enjoyed these first two parts. Your characters and settings are very believable, and the tension is built up very well. Really looking forward to what comes next!
