I hope the ladies husband is okay. It had to have been a life treatening injury for them to do an immediate surgey.

Although it was a very inconsiderate for her not to make one call to let the owner of the car know what was happening, I think all the angst over a car is a bit ridiculous. It wasn't a stanger she let her car to. It was someone she carpools with and someone she works with. I would have simply gone home and wait for her call or for her to bring the car over when she was done.
