A Trip to Hospital

Miss Alison took her class for an excursion to hospital last week. She wanted to show the children how the doctors work there. The children were met by Mrs Brown at the entrance. She worked in this hospital for many years and knew practically everything. When the children came in, they put their white smock on as all the doctors who worked there.

“Today you’ll have an unusual excursion. I’m going to show you different places in our hospital. Then you will know how the doc­tors work here and how the patients are given help for their me­dical problems.”

Then she continued, “People come to the hospital for lots of rea­sons. Sometimes they need extra help to get well - special treat­ment or medicine that they can get only in hospital. Many people come here for a special operation.”

As they walked down the hall, the children asked, “What’s that funny smell?”

Mrs Brown answered, “You are smelling disinfectant. Hospital floors are washed with disinfectant several times a day to kill germs. Hospitals have to be very clean all the time.”

Mrs Brown took them upstairs. “Children stay in their own sec­tion of the hospital, called the paediatric ward,” she explained. “Most of the rooms are for two or more children. Every bed can be raised up or down at the back and front. You can sit up in bed to draw pictures or watch TV and, of course, to eat meals.”
