Introduction
Why do I have to go to the hospital? Will they hurt me? Are you going to leave me there? How long will I stay? These are some of the questions your child might ask before a trip to the hospital. Hospitals are fascinating, but sometimes frightening, places for children. They are full of beds with bars, buzzing machinery, and unfamiliar adults. Your child may be sick or hurt when she first enters this strange, new place. She may also be very worried.
