In the Star Trek films and TV shows, a thing called the Kobayashi Maru pops up every now and again. Itâs a simulated test where cadets at Starfleet Academy, captaining their own vessel, are required to rescue another vessel in distress. But out of nowhere, several Klingon ships turn up and give them a vigorous phasering. Everyone dies.
Afterwards, the chastened cadet is told that there was no way they could have saved the other vessel or their own crew: the whole point of the Kobayashi Maru is that it is a no-win scenario. It was actually a test of character; of how the cadet deals with failure.

Young women with heart disease are often overlooked, says
Sheilagh Foley
When I found out I had an appointment with the ‘Heart Failure Clinic’ at the age of 41 I was less than optimistic. Failure? Seriously? I was curious what other clinic names were in the mix before they settled on ‘Failure’ – ‘The Jesus, Mary and Joseph Clinic’? ‘The Yerra Good Luck Clinic’? or perhaps ‘The Janniemac Institute of Wellness’? In fairness to my local hospital they did some rebranding and now go by the more hug friendly ‘Heart Support Unit’.
Names and labels aside these clinics around the country keep people alive through education, support and good old fashioned virtual hand holding. If any of your organs are failing it’s an unpleasant experience all round but when it’s your heart it takes on a personal edge.
