Curious is a young ferret who is very interested in his heart, and he's given a chance to learn and experiment much more when biology class requires a volunteer for a lesson on the heart.

Contains heartplay and various instances of the ferret dying and being brought back.

I actually liked this,  I wonder how factually accurate the stuff about the heart is

Only real fanciful part is being able to breath without the ribs in place.

The interactions of conditions and drugs on the heart are medically accurate.

Sometimes one has to take some liberties to make certain fetishes work well. Technically we'd have to use a breathing machine, and a mask over your muzzle the entire time, at least while the chest is open, but that's pretty un-sexy to look at ... unless you're also into breathplay and forced breathing... ;)

My main critique - from a medical point of view - is the switching of use of a defibrillator versus a heart massage. A defibrillator must be used if (and only if) the heart is undergoing fibrillation. ( That's why its called 'de-fibrillator' )
The electric shock can stop the fibrillation and resyncs the heart's muscles by giving them all a massive jolt all at the same time. It then might - if you're lucky - resume beating normally, or more likely could go into cardiac arrest and does nothing, or could again go into fibrillation again, in which case you simply repeat the shock again... and again....

In many drama movies, a defibrillator is used no matter what to restart a heart, but that's not necessarily a good idea, since the electric shock can as easily start fibrillation as it can stop it. Its kinda random.

if the heart does nothing (flatline) the thing to do is a heart massage (either external or directly if possible during open heart surgery) which will hopefully start it, but more importantly supplies the body with blood until it does.

If the heart is in fibrillation, a heart massage won't work as the muscles are already beating (just out of sync) and little blood is pumped despite the massage because the heart muscles are cramped together and not much blood fits through.

At least that's what they told us during the first aid course.

By the way the newer defibrillators they now have at airports and other public places have an integrated EKG sensor and a computer which tells the first aid responder what to do. It will only shock the patient if it senses fibrillation. If not, it will usually tell the responder to give a heart massage and artificial respiration (mouth to mouth)

In the story that was kinda deliberately the wrong way around, but you wanted it that way and torturing the heart was kinda the point, so ... ;D

All that being said, I'm no doctor, and my 1st aid course was a few years ago, so maybe procedures changed since.

It was well done even if a few liberties were taken.

Need to get the diffrent cardiac conditions induced after all.

Of course sci fy tech technologies and other shper natural methods would make it even easier to indulge this kind of interest.

And make a fun story.

if you bring portal technology or similar in, everyone can hold their beating hearts in their hands and play with them all the time.

mind you, I'd know a few other fun things, too, that could be done with portal tech applied to the body >:>>>

Why I never understood why doctors on star trek episodes never used teleporters more for surgery.

Today: "We know exactly where the cancer is because we were able to mark it with radioactive dye, but it's totally inoperable, we can't get at it without killing you. Oh, and here's our bill for more than you make in a year."
Trek: "Sensors indicated cancerous growths which we beamed into a biohazard waste receptacle for your convenience. Why are you showing me that bar of gold-pressed latinum? This is a medical procedure, why would that have a fee?"
