He was a master of deep compressions, but no more content with this rescuer 'cause he is done with CPR meetings 💔

Heart was working overtime.

I don't think there's nearly enough fanfare for "softcore" medfet. I'm talking the sweet-as-dripping-honey physician, the doe-eyed, fully compliant patient, the mutual trust being forged between them, the innate paradox of being exposed and undressed to a professional who really cares. Someone who routinely says, "let's just take a peek down here" or, "let me have a listen to your heartbeat" or even something as simple as, "thank you for trusting me with your body - all of it". Someone with benevolent intentions, no ulterior motive but for the satisfaction of helping someone with their body.

Fittingly, I really like pairing this with someone who's body-conscious. "Oh, you put on some weight since last year? That's okay, sweetheart, all bodies are built different!" Or, "you can show me any part of you and I won't judge, I promise." Evolving from that to things like, "let's just find out how much your pretty ticker can take..." to preface some combination of exercise + stething or a stress test.

I never really got the whole "clinician must be cold and distant" vibe. It makes sense, don't get me wrong, but it's not in my wheelhouse. I'm a card-carrying member of Weenie Hut Jr.'s (or would it be Weenie Hut General?) fr
