2020-12-04 14:32:34
After staying at the Hospital for the whole afternoon, Liangliang (alias) finally finished his hospital tour. He waved a hand and said goodbye to the “clown doctors” happily, unwilling to leave them. Liangliang’s mother said, before, every time he came to the Hospital, not only the child would cry a lot, but also the parents would be in anxiety. But this time, Liangliang not only didn’t cry, but also said thanks to the “clown doctors”.
According to research, the “power of humor” indeed can bring about a certain amount of medical effect. It can help divert patients’ attention, so as to mitigate the pain, especially for kids who just finished their operation. They need not only the rehabilitation therapy, but only something to mitigate the psychological shadow brought by the pain, where the “clown doctors” can play their roles.
After two hours in the costumes, Sun Qing and Wang Xiaofang could unfix their costumes to have a rest. They were discussing the experience of interacting with kids that day. Happiness is the “good medicine” that can cure the disease. The warm “love” of the “clown doctors” warmed the pediatric offices, delivering a feeling to kids and parents more than nervousness and anxiety. (Translated by Zhou Tuo, Fathom Language Limited)
