Oh, that makes it hard.
If she's just been rushed there, then it's a very recent event, and would qualify as "an emergency" as referenced in the first sentence.
Now B sounds too detached - making objective commentary on her health instead of being caught up in the moment of her recent need to return to the hospital, so that A is the better choice.
