The Careful Inquiry
Mike caught up to the doctor and attempted to appear informal when he asked the question. Just wondering what’s going on with my wife’s yellow bracelet. I was just wondering what that meant. The doctor shrugged, putting his hands in his pockets. Mike tried to sound less concerned than he truly was by carefully selecting his words. He anticipated a lighthearted tone would elicit responses.

The physician gave a cordial but evasive response. With his attention on his clipboard rather than Mike’s face, he responded, “Ah, nothing to worry about.” These rings are only utilized for… for the purpose of tracking. Making sure your wife is alright is the primary concern,” he stated. Mike thought he was only sidestepping the actual question with the feeble guarantee. Health is fantastic, but the wristband is a problem.
