a teddy bear clinic repairs comforters in Lille

In Lille (Nord), medical students have decided to set up and develop a hospital for comforters. Children come here to have their teddy bears cared for. This helps to de-dramatize the medical environment. To examine their cuddly toys, children can count on “nounoursologists”. Medical students can introduce their world to children. “They find themselves actors in the care of their cuddly toy“, explains the co-president of the teddy bear hospital.

In the operating room, you have to put the cuddly toys to sleep to open their stomachs. By explaining and de-dramatizing, “nounoursologists” allow children to get caught up in the game. In addition to comforters, future doctors can use dolls to explore the human body. The children are conquered. They are besides a certain number to want to become doctor.
