Answer:
You might go to the hospital if you fall off your bike and break your arm or if you have asthma and have trouble breathing. You might go to the hospital if you become dehydrated and need IV fluids or if you need to have surgery to take out your tonsils.
It may seem a little scary to go to a hospital, but doctors, nurses, and other hospital workers are there to help people who are sick or hurt feel better. Read on to find out what happens inside a hospital.
Admissions
Sometimes, your doctor decides you need to be admitted to the hospital (that means you will stay overnight). He or she either needs to find out about something going on inside your body or has decided you need special medicine, surgery, or other treatment for a health problem. Your doctor will call the hospital to tell the staff that you're coming, and you will go to the admissions desk to check in.
Your Room
Once you're in the hospital, you may have a room all to yourself or you might share one with another kid. Your room will have a bed, usually with buttons to push that will make the bed move up or down. A curtain can be pulled around your bed so that you can have some privacy while you're resting or changing clothes. There are usually lights that you can turn on and off, and there is a special button to push that will call the nurse if you need anything. You'll probably have a bathroom in your room.
When it's time for the operation, a transport person will wheel you on a special bed to the operating room, where you'll get anesthesia to go to sleep. While you're still awake, the hospital staff will explain everything that is going to happen. If you have any questions, you should always ask!
After your operation, when you wake up, you'll either be back in your room or in a special recovery room — that's a room where nurses can keep checking on you to make sure you're OK.
Keeping Busy
Most hospitals have playrooms, where you'll find toys, books, arts and crafts, and games. Someone will be there to help you find something to do. If you can't go to the playroom, someone can bring toys to your room.
Most hospitals have TVs or video games, and many have computers (with games!) that can be brought to your bed. Also, many hospitals for kids have special visitors stop by, like clowns or story characters.
Keeping Up With Schoolwork
If you're worried about falling behind on schoolwork while you're in the hospital, there are ways to keep up. Many children's hospitals have a classroom and a teacher for kids who are in the hospital for a while.
For shorter stays, if you feel up to it, your parents can have your schoolwork sent home or to the hospital. If you're not feeling great and you don't think you can keep up with the schoolwork, your school will understand and give you extra time when you go back.
Being Nervous
It's normal to be a little nervous — and even scared — when going to the hospital. But remember:
Your family will be with you.
Lots of other kids in the hospital are going through the same kind of thing.
Many people, like doctors and nurses, can answer any questions you might have. Don't be afraid to ask! Remember, they're there to help you feel better and will be glad to make you more comfortable.
After spending time at the hospital, you should be on the road to feeling better!
