Doctors and nurses make sure your body is growing just right. If you have a boo-boo or feel a little sick, they know exactly how to help you feel better. They give you medicine, put on bandages, and might even give you a bright, shiny sticker to celebrate your visit!
Doctors and nurses are very kind and they want everyone to feel their best. They keep our whole community healthy by taking care of people of all ages. We are so lucky to have doctors and nurses to take care of us and our families every day.
- A stethoscope lets doctors hear your heart beating like a tiny drum inside your chest.
- Nurses often walk many miles during a single day at work.
- Some doctors study for over 10 years to learn how to help people!
