When a doctor asked a child with cancer what his desire was, he replied that I longed to meet Batman, so without thinking twice he disguised himself as his favorite superhero and surprised the little one in the hospital corridor.
We do not know where it happened, nor the name of the true superhero who hides behind the mask, but the truth is that the scene has touched us all. The video has been shared by the Twitter account The limit of good, and in a few days it has been viralized by the sensitivity, humanity and love it transmits.

Impossible not to get excited at the sensitivity and humanity of this doctor, that beyond exercising his profession, he wanted to be next to his patient in this special way, transmitting encouragement, strength and enthusiasm through a simple gesture for adults, but so great for a child.
And it is that a good doctor is not only the one who cures, but the one who is capable of convey empathy to their patients (especially if they are children), holding out their hands when they need it most and knowing how to comfort and calm them in unpleasant situations.
In Babies and more The emotional image of a premature baby and his doctor, who transmits in a simple gesture the complicity and fight for lifeA few months ago we met the emotional story of Austin, a child Star Wars fan and heart disease, who received the long-awaited news of his transplant through the mouth of Chewbacca himself.
We were also excited by the images of a Chinese surgeon comforting his little patient minutes before starting the operation. And more recently, but just as exciting, it was the video we shared on our Facebook page about "Dancing Doc," a neurosurgeon from California who dances with sick children to relieve tension and tear a smile from them.
The medical and hospital environment is not a dish of good taste for anyone. It scares, generates stress, anxiety and many children do not quite understand why they are there. Having a helping hand and words of encouragement can make a big difference.
