I see where you're coming from.
In either case -- whether her decision to ignore her doctor's orders was due to ignorance/carelessness (as she essentially contends and you believe), or instead a desire to conceal her illness in order to avoid fueling the speculation that she lacks stamina/healthiness -- we agree it was poor judgment again.
It's the poor judgment and the perception it creates that annoys/concerns me about her more than anything else, regardless as to what drives it in each particular instance. You might be absolutely right about what drove the poor judgment in this instance, or it could be a combination of drivers.
I tend to agree with Duchess that she was in a dilemma. So, she deliberated the 'should I stay or should I go now' question, weighed the pros and cons, and chose to take a risk that backfired.
