Douglas nodded, thinking it made total sense even to his less medically educated mind.  He had seen various socialite women faint for this or that and considered it a fake action for attention.  However, some it had been quite real, like today with Pip.  It was that more ladies of that status fainted more than the women that were more common and worked to take care of their husbands and children.  Though likely those women were just made up of stronger stuff.  One of the benefits of not being a socialite.
