All over the world, children in hospital are being treated with a new kind of medicine:Laughter.Lucy
is 23 and works for Theodora Children's Trust.She is one of many clown (小丑) doctors who bring a
smile to the faces of sick children.
"I'm a Theodora clown doctor.I call myself Dr Looloo.I spend two days a week in children's hospitals, making funny faces, telling jokes, and doing magic tricks.As I walk into the wards I blow bubbles, shake
hands with the kids, and make up nonsense songs for those children well enough to sing.I take special
balloons to make 'balloon animals' and tell funny stories about them.
I'm naturally a very cheerful person.I've always been a clown.In fact my father's a clown and I started working with him when I was eight years old.I knew it was just the job for me and I became a clown
doctor because I think it's a great way to cheer up sick, frightened children in hospital.
Being a clown in hospital is very tiring both physically and emotionally.We have to learn not to show
our feelings, otherwise we'd be useless.Clown doctors are sensitive but this is not a side most people see.
To the children we're happy all the time.I'm still learning to allow myself to feel sad occasionally.There
working with a very sick little girl from Bosnia who speaks no English, so our only common language is
laughter.
At weekends I participate in events to raise money for Theodora Children's Trust.It's a charity, so
we are paid with the money people give.Being a clown doctor makes the worries of everyday life seem
small.All in all I feel honoured to do this job."
