English term or phrase: quite matter-of-factly.
Somehow, Jack did bounce back from that harrowing
illness. And ten days later, after he had been successfully
extubated and we were preparing to go home, the
head physician in the Intensive Care Unit came by to
wish us well. He talked about Jack’s remarkable recovery,
and he was obviously pleased to be a part of it. But
the doctor’s focus was not on the treatment plan, the
efforts of the hospital staff, or his own good work. He
attributed Jack’s recovery to the patient himself.
“Jack’s a fighter,” the doctor told us, quite matter-of-factly.
