Hospital Humour for Kids
Organisations like the Starlight Childrens Foundation and Clown Doctors make a big difference to kids when they are in hospital. Ryan was in the Adelaide Womens and Childrens Hospital for a few days earlier in the year for a knee infection, which was treated succesfully with intravenous antibiotics. He was very unhappy as he was moved to the ward and had asked me many times whether he could go home. In waltzed Captain Starlight and his assistant for an afternoon of fun. He also benefitted from the self contained entertainment centres that are provided by the Starlight Foundation. More videos, cartoons and games than you could play in a lifetime, all loaded up on to one machine. When we left he would have been happy to stay for longer.
Clown Doctors also work in hospitals here in Australia. They are masters of humour and diversionary medicine and are part of the medical team having completed training in both clowning and being part of the medical teams. Tomorrow is Smile Day, which is their major fundraising event.
Laughter really is a great therapy, especially for stressed and unhappy children and their worried parents. Very worthwhile organisations, both of them.
