ניתוח באשך

Hi there
I wonder if you can help
On Friday I did a ward round and found one of my patients dead. This was very unexpected, there were no warning signs and he had been fine a few minutes before.
I needed to inform the corroner as a post-mortem needs to be done in these cases (I hope this is OK – he was a Goy).
The next thing is I needed to tell his family. the only number I had was of his 80 year old wife whom I had never met. I called her and asked her to come in and see me. She said she was comming in any case with her daughter in a few hours. She became suspicious and asked if her husband was dead. I felt it reasonale to lie in this situatuion and I told her no , but please come in I need to speak to you. I felt that I could not tell her the news over the phone, alone and I was unable to comfort her over the phone or assess the help she needed.
I called her in and told her.
Some of the staff here are upset with me and feel I should have been honest.
What do you feel?
To tell a person about the death of a close family member might be danger.
Therefore the way you handled the case was the right way, both ethically and Halachiclly.

שלום כבוד הרב אשתי קיבלה המלצה ליטול תרופה הומואפטית בשם nervo heel של חברת אלטמן. מדובר בטבליות למציצה. הפניה לתרופות הומאופטיות נעשית, על פי המלצת
אני בסוף חודש תשיעי, יום כיפור הוא אחרי התאריך המשוער שלי. מהן ההלכות לגבי הצום בהריון וליולדת (במקרה ואלד לפני או במהלך הצום?). תודה.
In last week’s parsha, Va-Yehi, Yosef’s brothers lie to him after Ya’aqov dies, telling him that Ya’aqov instructed them to tell Yosef to forgive them.
