How do I get access to Python doctest verbose flag inside a test?

How do I get access to Python 3.8 doctest verbose flag inside a test? I see it as DocTestRunner._verbose but I would need an instance to grab it from. I'm trying to do something like

def MyClass
  """
  >>> if doctest.DocTestRunner.instance._verbose: printFancyStuffToStdErr() # how do I get instance?
  """
...
if __name__ == '__main__':
  import doctest, os, sys
  if someCondition(): # n.b. this is simplification and not available inside test
    res = doctest.testmod(verbose=True)
  else
    res = doctest.testmod(verbose=False)

NB this is NOT the same as How can a test in Python unittest get access to the verbosity level? the answer to which grabs the '-v' or '--verbose' from the command line
