WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“The doctor gave me some serious news, and we need to face this together.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Borrowing Authority (借势)

Invoking a professional's directive ('the doctor asked me to...') cushions the delivery of heavy news and obliges family members to cooperate without immediate resistance.
