Paragraph 2
A small girl whose ankle is injured is in need of the clown doctors because she spends time crying in pain.
Paragraph 3
Scientific studies show that laughter produces chemicals to make people feel better, which means clown doctors can be helpful. We are specially trained clowns who work as part of a programme known as “hospital clowning”. I chose this career because of my experience of going to hospital when I was a kid. Although the doctors and nurse did a great job, hospital weren’t really designed for children. I spent much of the time when I was there feeling frightened and more than a little bored! Being a clown doctor means I can help people by entertaining them.
A clown doctor is trained as part of a programme known as "hospital clowning". He chose this career becuse of his frightening and boring experience of going to hospital when he was a kid.
Paragraph 4
Visiting hospitals and other health care facilities, we clown
doctors work together with medical professionals. On a
typical day, we spend our time cheering up patients, their
families, and more often than not, the hospital staff, too! We
do this by doing magic tricks, singing songs, telling stories
and, of course, telling silly jokes. Some children, though,
don‘t feel like laughing, especially if they're in pain.
We have to be very sensitive and work closely with the
doctors and nurses, who keep us updated on each patient.
A clown doctor work with medical professionals, cheering up patients, their families, and the hospital staff.
Paragraph 5
And my magic medicine does indeed seem to do
the trick. While the doctor concentrates on
examining Lara's ankle, I get her attention by doing
a magic trick. Although she is clearly still in some
pain, her scared and anxious look has been replaced-
first by a small smile, and then by loud laughter as
I “magically" produce her sock from out of my
pocket. Seeing their daughter so much happier
has in turn made Lara's parents more relaxed.
He gets the patient’s attention by doing a magic trick — he produces the patient’s sock from out of his pocket.
Paragraph 6
He is still wearing a big smile as he remembers all the fun and laughter of the day, because he believes that “laughter is the best medicine”.

Summary
Clown doctors do make a difference.
As I approach the hospital wearing my white coat, I look just like any other doctor. That is until l put on my curly
rainbow wig, big red nose, and add my name badge "Doctor Larry Laugh-Out-Loud". I walk through the doors
into the waiting area, where there's a familiar atmosphere of boredom and tension. People sit uncomfortably on
plastic chairs, looking through old magazines, all of which have been read hundreds of times previously. Anxious
parents do what they can to comfort nervous and crying children.
