The sterile white walls of the clinic seemed to close in around Eleanor as she read the report. This wasn't her file. The details described a life she didn't recognize, ailments she had never experienced. She felt a burning need to right the wrong.

Her heart hammered against her ribs as she headed towards the records department. The thought of someone receiving incorrect care, based on a mistake, ignited a fire within her. She ignored the way her legs felt heavy, and pushed forward.

"I have a problem," she told the clerk, her voice carrying a steely resolve. The clerk, a young woman with tired eyes, seemed disinterested, but Eleanor pressed on. The importance of the situation was too great to ignore.
