The came

and got you in the

waiting room and

took you to the

exam room. She

weighed you and

took your

temperature.

Hi Timmy, I’m Nurse Becky. Would you

come with me please?

The came

into your room and

looked in your

throat and ears.

She also listened to

your heart. She

asked you what

What seems to be the problem today, Jenny?

If you had a sore throat, your doctor

would send you to see the

Lab Tech.

Open up

and say

‘Aaaah”!

The Lab Tech used a big Q-tip™ to check your tonsils.

Aha! I see

bacteria

growing!

The Lab Tech looks

at your sore throat

germ to see if you

need medicine.

If you have a

bacterial germ on

your tonsils, you will

have to go see the

pharmacist to get

medicine to kill the

germ and make you

feel better!

Have your Mommy give you one pill with your

breakfast.

The Pharmacist will make

you a medicine that will kill

your bad germ. Never

take medicines without

help from an adult!

If you fell off your bike and hurt your

leg, the doctor would send you to see

the Radiology Tech.

The Radiology

Tech uses a

special machine to

take pictures of

your bones.

These pictures are

called X-rays.

A special doctor

called a

Radiologist will

look at your x-ray

to see if your bone

is broken.

A special helper called a Physician

Assistant will put a cast on your broken

bone.

The Physical Therapist helps you with

exercises so you can start using your leg

again.

After you get

your cast off,

the Physical

Therapist will

help you.

So……, next time you think about what

you want to be when you grow

Remember your trip to the doctor’s office

and of the people who helped

you!

It could be someday!
