Note
One spelling does two jobs: a finite past (the doctor reassured her) and a participle after have or be (she has been reassured). Because the verb is transitive, the passive comes naturally, with the source of comfort introduced by by: reassured by the report. The form also carries reassure's insurance meaning, so a policy can be reassured (that is, reinsured) as well as a nervous person.
