Para. 1
3 Scientific studies shows that laughter
produces chemicals to make people feel better, which means clown doctors can be helpful. We are specially trained clowns who work as part of a programme known as “hospital clowning”. I choose this career because of my experience of going to hospital when I was a kid. Although the doctors and nurse did a great job, hospital weren’t really designed for children. I spent much of the time when I was there feeling frightened and more than a little bored! Being a clown doctor means I can help people by entertaining them.
4 Visiting hospitals and other health care facilities, we clown
doctors work together with medical professionals. On a
typical day, we spend our time cheering up patients, their
families, and more often than not, the hospital staff, too! We
do this by doing magic tricks, singing songs, telling stories
and, of course, telling silly jokes. Some children, though,
don‘t feel like laughing, especially if they're in pain.
We have to be very sensitive and work closely with the
doctors and nurses, who keep us updated on each patient.
5 And my magic medicine does indeed seem to do
the trick. While the doctor concentrates on
examining Lara's ankle, I get her attention by doing
a magic trick. Although she is clearly still in some
pain, her scared and anxious look has been replaced-first by a small smile, and then by loud laughter as I “magically" produce her sock from out of my
pocket. Seeing their daughter so much happier
has in turn made Lara's parents more relaxed.
