The clown doctor
All over the world, children in hospitalarebeing treated with a new kind of medicine: laughter. LUCY is 23 and works forTheodoraChildren's Trust. She is one of manyclowndoctors who bring a smile to the facesof sickchildren.
I'm a Theodora clown doctor, I call myselfDrLoo. I spend two days a week inchildren'shospitals being extremely silly withmy friendand colleague Dr Chequers. Wemake funnyfaces, tell jokes, and do magictricks. As I walkinto the wards I blow bubbles, shake handswith the kids, and make upnonsense songsfor those children wellenough to sing. Wetake special balloons tomake 'balloonanimals' and tell funny storiesabout them.We often meet kids who oneweek look reallysick, then we go back the nextweek andthey're racing about yelling 'Hi there, DrLooLoo! Hi Dr Chequers!'
I'm naturally a very cheerful person. I'vealwaysbeen a clown. In fact my father's aclown and Istarted working with him when Iwas eightyears old. I knew it was just the jobfor me andI became a clown doctor because Ithink it's agreat way to cheer up sick, frightened childrenin hospital. I wear a fancycoat, a yellow shirt, and tights with big stripes.Also, I have a redrubber nose and wear myhair in crazy plaits.
Being a clown in a hospital is very tiringbothphysically and emotionally. We have tolearnnot to show our feelings, otherwise we'dbeuseless. Clown doctors are sensitive butthis isnot a side most people see. To thechildrenwe're happy all the time. I'm stilllearning toallow myself to feel sadoccasionally. Thereare special kids you getreally close to. At themoment I'm working witha very sick little girlfrom Bosnia who speaksno English, so ouronly common language islaughter. She'sbeen in and out of hospital foroperations somany times and she's always onmy mind.
At lunchtime we eat in the hospitalcafeteriaand that's really useful because wemeet thenurses and doctors. They tell usaboutparticular kids who they think willbenefitfrom a clown doctor visit. If a childisfrightened, perhaps they're being givenaninjection or some nasty medicine - wecandistract them so the nurses can do theirjob.
About six o'clock Dr Chequers and I takeoffour make-up and change our clothes.We'retotally exhausted. Sometimes I have anightout with friends, it helps me unwind.When Ifinally fall into bed, I crash out. Atweekendswe are often asked to participate inevents toraise money for Theodora Children'sTrust.It's a charity; so we are paid with themoneypeople give. Being a clown doctormakes theworries of everyday life seem small.All in all, Ifeel privileged to do this job.
