younger and you would tie a sheet around your neck and jump off the couch like a superhero like Batman, Wonder Woman, or Spider Man? Well, I want to be a hero, but not a hero with a cape with a secret identity behind them. I want to be a hero with a stethoscope around my neck and be by your side when you are injured.
