If you have ever had an accident and hurt yourself, like Pip when she fell off her bike, you might have had to visit a hospital. There are lots and lots of people who work in a hospital, but it is the doctor鈥檚 and nurse鈥檚 job to check all your injuries and to try and fix them.
To help doctors and nurses make you better, they use lots of different machines and equipment. One of these is called an x-ray machine. Have you ever seen an x-ray photograph before? It is really cool. The machine can be a little bit noisy, but that is because it is doing something amazing 鈥 taking a picture of your bones! This lets doctors and nurses see if there is anything broken and if you need to wear a cast.
This is just one of the wonderful things doctors and nurses can do to help people who are sick or injured. We are so lucky to have them.
