Title The Good Doctor
Description of the experience – Mona, I saw you open your little
clinic today. You put your stethoscope and doctors coat and then
announced that your clinic was open for business. I was your first
patient and you examined me thoroughly.
I was very glad that I had such a good doctor to help me. “You
have the elf fever, one glass of milk and broccoli.
You will be alright,” you said. I was very glad to have such a good
doctor examine me.
Seeing us play, Sean wanted to join in so you told him he could be
your nurse and help you with operation and selling medicine.
You took the chart for body parts from the classroom and hung it
behind your clinic.
When Poppy came in with a headache, Sean and you gave her a
hug and some juice to make her feel better. When Sean wanted to
pay as the doctor you happily gave him the stethoscope.
Poppy I was very happy when you approached Mona And Sean, it
was nice to see you overcome your shyness and make friends.
