to go to the hospital for an...'operation' to fix my ears. Did you ever have to
go to the hospital? It's my first time... I don't know what it
will be like there and... I'm a little nervous. Dad Tiger: It's ok to
be nervous my fuzzy guy. ♪ When we do something new, ♪ ♪ let's talk about
what we'll do. ♪ Here... This book will show us
what we'll do at the hospital. Daniel: Ok. Mom Tiger: The hospital is a
place where doctors and nurses work together to
help you get better. Daniel: Woah!
The hospital's so big. Dad: Mhm. Inside there
are nurses, and doctors... Daniel: Dr. Anna, right? Mom: No, Dr. Anna doesn't
work at the hospital. We're going to meet a new
doctor today; Dr. Lee. Daniel: Do you
know Dr. Lee, Tigey? Mmm-mm. Tigey doesn't know
Dr. Lee either. Mom: Daniel,
She's very nice. The doctors at the
hospital know just how to make
your ears feel better. ♪ (light music) ♪ Daniel: What's
that girl wearing? Dad: That is a hospital gown. It's comfy like pajamas
and makes it easier for the nurse and doctor
to check your body. Daniel: Hmm,
will I wear one? Mom: Yes you will. Daniel: Oooh, will my hospital
gown have puppies on it? Mom: (chuckles)
I don't know, but we'll find out soon. Daniel: Mom, Dad, can I bring Tigey with
me to the hospital? Dad: Of course
you can bring Tigey. Daniel: What is that? Dad: That's a mask. The medicine inside that mask is a special kind of
air that you breathe so you won't feel
the operation at all. Daniel: Oh. Dad: Look Daniel,
to help you get well, the doctors and nurses
use special tools. Just like some of the
tools Dr. Anna uses. Daniel: Like this? What does it do? Dad: ♪ When we do
something new, ♪ ♪ let's talk about
what we'll do. ♪ Dad: An otoscope helps
doctors look inside your ears. Daniel: Let me check
inside your ears, Tigey! Dr. Daniel will check
your ears too, Dad. (giggles)

a child life specialist. What is it like to be a
child life specialist? Alannah: We help children to
feel comfortable and safe and help them understand
when they come to have their body fixed. Would you like to take a tour? Sam: Yes please.
Alannah: Yeah, follow me! Sam, this is the reception
area of our hospital, this is the first place
a child comes, when they're coming to
have their body fixed. Sam: Can a child bring
something from home? Alannah: Absolutely, kids
can bring a stuffed animal, a blanket, anything that
will help you to feel comfortable while you're here. These are hospital pajamas. When a child comes here, they
take off their regular clothes and put these on. Sam, this is the
activity center. It's one of my favorite
rooms in the hospital. Sam: This is awesome! Alannah: Kids can come and play while they wait
to see the doctor. When the doctors are ready
to fix a child's body, they take them on this bed with
wheels to the operating room. The operating room is a place where the doctors can
help you feel better. When a child enters
the operating room we use this special mask that
goes over your nose and mouth to help them breathe
in medicine air so they can fall into
a special medicine sleep. Sam: What is this place? Alannah: This is the room
where a child wakes up from their special sleep. Your mom, dad, or whoever
brought you to the hospital will be here waiting for you. When a child wakes up, that
means the doctors are all done. But it might take some time before a child feels
really great. Sam: Thanks for showing me
around the hospital, Alannah. Alannah: You're welcome! Sam: Thanks for
coming, neighbor. Bye! ♪ (gentle upbeat music) ♪ Daniel: I like
