‘Feel good’ surgeon draws cartoons on kids’ dressings
Paediatric surgeon Dr Robert Parry has found a creative way to help children cope with their scar after waking up from surgery — he hand-draws cartoons on their bandages.
As the procedure comes to an end, the surgeon from Akron Children’s Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio, US, sits down to draw a surprise character, inspired by a chat about interests with the child or their family before surgery.
