The "I'm just asking was implied" book set in maybe Switzerland in a hospital or clinic - one of the Doctors ALWAYS says "I'm just asking" One time she doesn't - and the response is "The I'm just asking is implied". Funniest joke - it's a long joke [s]

Googling leads me to a John Irving book, Until I Find You. Google Books has the quote on page 754 in a section called "Dr. Garcia". The person who always says "I'm just asking", except this time, is Dr von Rohr.
Oh my goodness Daphne,Thank you so much. I'd tried google search - but not via google books.
I have been trying to find this for about 8 years - my friend found this site - and suggested I try it - and an answer straight away.
Thank you so so much. I will now stop annoying my friends (and complete acquaintances) with this question.
With kind regards and very best wishes,

Hi everyone,
I've tried everywhere with this. Years ago I read this book. I wondered if it's John Irving - but I've not found it to be there.
The story is loosely about a family member who has a ?grandad in hospital/clinic in Switzerland.
What strikes me is the "I'm just asking" which one of the female Doctors ALWAYS says. One time she doesn't. I was sat up - thinking - WHY NOT? The author then writes the "I'm just asking was implied". I'd love to re-read this.
I've tried Twitter - all of my friends - and many of them have studied literature/creative writing.
If you can help - I would be immensely grateful.
Happy Reading,
Peter
