I’m wearing the humbling green medical gown, backside exposed, await-ing surgery when a nurse informs me that the mammogram technician required to assist with the biopsy is ill. “We think she has pneumonia, so she’s going home and our other technician is in Newfoundland for three weeks. I’m really sorry, your surgery will be cancelled for a while.”
