I am a cardiac surgeon, and there is no one in the operating room that I cannot save.
However, today I walked into the kindergarten class carrying a heart model and made three little girls cry on the spot.
The average age of the class was four and a half, and they all stared at me.
I cleared my throat and decided to maintain my professional persona: "This is the mitral valve, this is the left atrium -"
"I know!" A kid in the first row stood up, his eyes shining brightly, "You are a big duck!"
Me: "... It's a doctor."
"Uncle said that when a big duck misses a baby, it will give a big heart to the little duck!" The little duck had already rushed over and hugged my thigh: "So you are a big duck, right?"
I looked up and saw a dozen cubs looking at me eagerly, their eyes round and bright.
Silence.
"... Gah."
Intention: Go against the current and persevere
