CONTENTS

This ambulance is racing to the hospital.

What Is a Hospital?

Do you hear a loud siren? It is an

ambulance . It takes people to the hospital .

All cars must move out of the way. The

ambulance must get to the hospital fast!

Many babies are born in hospitals.

People go to a hospital when they are

sick or hurt. Doctors and nurses help

them. Have you been to a hospital? Were

you sick? Maybe you visited someone

there. Many people work at a hospital.

Lets read about some hospital workers.

Think!

Sometimes people are not sick when they are in a hospital. Why is

that? Hint: Think about where most babies are born. Pregnant

mothers can go to a hospital to have their babies. If this was your

answer, you are correct!

A doctor examines you to find out why you are sick.

Hospital Workers

Many doctors work in hospitals. A doctor

finds out why you are sick in order to try

and make you better. The doctor will look at

you. This is called an examination. The

doctor may have some questions about how

you feel. The doctor might tell you that you

need to stay at the hospital overnight.

An x-ray can help doctors understand why you dont feel well.

A nurse will help the doctor to take care

of you. The nurse may bring you medicine

if you are having a fever or feeling pain.

The nurse and other hospital workers will

check on you. They want to make sure you

are getting better.

You might need to give a sample of

your blood or urine to see why you dont

feel well. Workers will check, or test, the

sample. They might also take an x-ray of

you. An x-ray is a special picture of your

body. Doctors will use this information to

decide how to make you feel better.

A physical therapist might examine your muscles

to decide which exercises you should do.

Physical therapists help patients do

special exercises. These exercises help

patients move better. There are other kinds

of therapists, too. Therapists can help you

with speaking and hearing.

Create!

Draw a picture of a hospital worker. Show the worker doing his or

her job. Which hospital worker did you choose? Draw the tools

the worker needs to do the job.

There are many hospital workers who help to keep patients comfortable.

Being sick or hurt can be scary. Chaplains

talk with patients. They comfort you by
