Daniel: Hi Neighbor.

I'm so glad you're here.

Tigey is too.

My ears have been bothering me.

Dr. Anna said I need 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) Good job holding still!

Dad: (chuckles) Thank you, Dr. Daniel.

I feel better already.

Daniel: (giggles) I like being a doctor.

Heyyyyy...

Do you want to make-believe with me?

Let's make believe

I'm a doctor at a hospital...

♪ (light music) ♪

This is Alannah, she is 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!
