Mildred was a 93 year old woman who was particularly despondent over the recent dealth of her husband, Earl. She decided that she would just kill herself and join him in death. Thinking it would be best to get it over quickly, she took out Earl's old Army pistol and made the decision to shoot herself in the heart since it was so badly broken anyway.
Not wanting to miss the vital organ and become a vegetable and burden to someone else, she called her doctor's office to inquire as to just where the heart woud be.

"On a woman," the doctor said, "your heart would be just below your left breast."
Later that night, Mildred was admitted to the hospital with a gunshot wound to her left knee.
