Some exceptions to this are for example:

when a doctor must tell to a 22 years old patient that if he doesn't receives a transplant soon, he is going to suffer a heart attack, but his father is really worried, he talks with the doctor and say: “He thinks he’s going to die. Please, he has lost all hope. Please tell him that if he does the things you say, he’s going to be O.K.”

(I)f you were the doctor, would you keep this information (AS A SECRET)without saying (ANYTHING)to your patient? ...
Think about it!
WELL, GENERALLY WHEN YOU ARE TELLING OR RETELLING A STORY YOU TEND TO USED THE PAST TENSES FOR IT JUST TO KEEP THE EVENTS WITHIN THE TIME-LINE AND THE MOMENT WHERE THEY OCCURED.
ALSO I MADE SOME CHANGES BUT ONLY REGARDING STYLE AND PUNCTUALTUION. THE IDEA IS NOT TO ALTER THE FEELING YOU INITIALLY MEANT TO TRANSMIT WITH YOUR WRITING.
