When fluff is not used as Teddyto comfort and appease their happy ownersthey serve as a guinea pig. At the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, it is the plush version of Bob Razowski (character from the cartoon Monsters and company, from Disney) who ended up on the pool table to set an example and above all to reassure a small patient (in flesh and blood) him). Dr Growth, surgeon, took his instruments to patch up the visibly ailing inert companion of a boy who had just undergone surgery.
The scene was immortalized by a spectator (certainly a hospital employee) and posted on the pFacebook age of the health facility. Goal : reassure the childrenwho dread having surgery. “Our doctors, nurses and all staff go out of their way to make patients feel comfortable and safe. Whether it’s stitching up their favorite toy or dressing up as their beloved character, we know how to help children get better”.
This message posted on the photo visibly appealed to Facebook users and parents since the post collected 10,000 likes.
Teddy bears like guinea pigs
This is not my first time that lint has been on the operating table. Last July, American veterinary students had treated for two days … teddy bears in a clinic in Kansas (United States). It was in fact a training technique to learn the trade. In Japan, fluff had even been graftedto raise awareness of organ donation as part of a communication campaign.
