A
Hospitals are serious places. Doctors and nurses treat and take care of sick people. Some patients get better in a few days. Others have to stay in the hospital for a long time, though.
Many of those patients are children. They're often scared and worried, and they feel a lot of pain. Also, they're sad because they can't be with their families.
However, all that goes away with some special people. They are clown doctors, and they're there to make the kids laugh and bring them joy.
Clown doctors treat sick children's minds and spirits. They first bring smiles with their red noses, clown make-up and fun doctor's coats. Then, they use magic, music, stories and other clown skills to get laughs.
When the kids laugh, their problems go away. They have fun and just live in the moment. They also find a friend in the clown doctors.
The clown doctors will listen to them. They will also just be there for them. Clown doctors help make people happy and healthy.
