WolfishMusings:- Are you suggesting that I quit my job, since my manageress & supervisor are both females?
Obviously you don’t even comprehend what you are ranting about. Asking your Mum how she is/was feeling is Derech Eretz of the highest order in compliance with the 5th commandment.
Talking to the patient next to what was you Mum’s bed is a Mitzwah d’Orraisso of “Mah Hu Mevaker Choleh Af Atto Mevaker Choleh” i.e. veHolachto bi’Derochov.
I hope you don’t disgrace yourself by not wishing your Mum “leShono Tovo TiKoseivi ve’Seichseimi”, as well any aunts or female 1st cousins you may have.
