The world felt like a kaleidoscope of colors to Clara. She had just found out she won the lottery! She bounced along the sidewalk, her purse swinging, imagining all the things she would do with the money. She needed to get her blood pressure checked, so she headed into the clinic with a spring in her step and a song in her heart.

The nurse gave her the folder with a quick smile and a congratulatory tone. Clara nearly tripped over her own feet to grab it and look at it, and then her elation immediately shifted to a confused frown. The chart showed high blood pressure, and a history of heart problems? "But I…" she stammered, flipping through the pages. The name on the file wasn't hers. A cold dread swept over her, a wave of discombobulation washing over her. She knew instantly something was terribly wrong.
