The nurse looked uncomfortable before asking whether Daniel had recently changed his insurance arrangements. Confused, I explained that I handled his appointments but knew nothing about his financial paperwork. She told me someone had repeatedly called the hospital requesting information about his medical condition and prognosis. I assumed it was a relative, but she mentioned that the caller had specifically asked about his expected survival.
That evening, I asked Daniel whether he knew anything about it. His expression changed immediately. He looked away and whispered, “There’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you, but I didn’t know how.”
