"Fred was a widower in his late seventies when he became my patient. He was always charming and thoughtful with my staff. I noted signs of liver disease on routine blood tests, so I started suggesting he cut down on his alcohol intake...I was pulled over by a cop on one of my midnight runs, and he demanded that I open up the back of the truck to show him what I was carrying...He died instantly. I hid the body and high-tailed it out of there. They never figured out who killed him. It's been over 50 years since it happened, and you're the first person I have ever told."
"I was a nurse's aide at a hospital. I remember sitting with a patient in her last moments who suddenly broke down and confessed to a family secret she had carried for years. She spoke of how she had left her sister to drown during a childhood accident. The weight of her guilt was palpable, but she felt a sense of relief sharing it with someone before she passed."
