# Possible continuations:

**If "she" = the nurse:**
"The doctor phoned the nurse because she was late. He needed help in the operating room immediately, so he wanted to know her estimated arrival time."

**If "she" = the doctor:**
"The doctor phoned the nurse because she was late. The morning rounds had already begun, and the doctor needed an extra set of hands to manage the influx of patients."

**Neutral approach:**
"The doctor phoned the nurse because she was late. They had a full schedule ahead and couldn't afford to fall behind on appointments."

The original sentence is ambiguous since "she" could refer to either the doctor or nurse. Would you like me to explore a different angle, or did you have a particular interpretation in mind?
