Is it possible MMY misunderstood the questioner to be
saying that some teacher had told them they weren't
to bathe at all during rounding?

Is it possible he was furious that (per his
misunderstanding about the question) a teacher would
take his instruction about not bathing after program
*ordinarily*, and extrapolate that to mean they must
not ever bathe while they were rounding?

If so, it doesn't sound so unreasonable to me that
he'd be pissed off at such an utter lack of common
sense.

Or perhaps he didn't misunderstand and was directing
his tirade at the imaginary teacher who had purportedly
given the instruction, rather than at the person
who had asked such a dumb question, enabling the
person to save a little face?
