Not all superheroes wear capes & masks
Some wear scrubs & stethoscopes

I’m sorry I can’t see this movie, but traveling from Spain to see the movie is not affordable for my bank account.
On the other hand, not speaking English would mean not being able to enjoy its content to the fullest.
Finally, everything related to health, medicine, nursing, etc., are part of my interest in nursing and the research on the history of nursing that I am currently carrying out, with the addition of talking about such a painful and delicate subject as AIDS. 😥
