Hello! I'm Dr Ranj.

Welcome to our very special hospital just for children.

Come on, I'll show you around.

Lots of clever people, like doctors and nurses, work here.

And they're specially trained to care for children just like you.

You may come here because you're not feeling well,

or you need to have a test,

or an operation.

-Hello!

-Hello, Dr Ranj!

But don't worry, whatever you're here for, there'll be someone

like me to check you're healthy, or to help you get well soon.

This is my floor. I'd better get to work.

Hello, I'm in the outpatients department.

I have a patient coming to see me today. I wonder who it will be.

Who's come to visit me? Who will it be?

Can you guess which friend it is? Let's see.

I know who that is -

it's Riz!

# The world's so full of what and why

# I really have to know

# How does it work and what is this?

# And where does that thing go?

# So much to know

# So much to learn and do

# When I find out something new

# I want to shout woohoo!

# So much to know

# So much to learn and do

# When I find out something new

# I want to shout woohoo! #

Hello, Riz! Come and sit down.

Hello, Dr Ranj.

Say hello to Dippy the Dinosaur!

It's short for Diplodocus.

Hello, Dippy. Welcome to the outpatients department.

Why is it called the outpatients, Dr Ranj?

We're not outside - we're inside!

Outpatients is just a name we give to people like you

who come to hospital for an appointment

-but don't need to stay over night.

-Oh.

-So, I don't have to stay in hospital, then?

-No, Riz.

When you're done here today, you'll be able to go home.

But before your appointment, we need to check a few things.

-What checks?

-I need some facts about your body.

Oh, OK.

So, today, I'm going to measure five different things.

-Five?

-Yep. It won't take long, and it won't hurt, so there's nothing

to worry about.

First of all, I need to measure your height, which is how tall you are.

A Sauroposeidon dinosaur is about 18 metres tall, Dr Ranj.

That's really tall, Riz.

But to measure how tall you are, you need to take your shoes off,

-and we'll go over here.

-Oh.

-I'm coming.

-Now, stand next to this measure.

You need to stand nice and straight.

I'm just going to lower this marker until it rests on your head. Ready?

I'm ready. Lower away.

There we go.

So, Riz, your height is one metre and nine centimetres.

Cool! That means I'm taller

than a Saltopus dinosaur, and an Archaeopteryx dinosaur, and an...

Well done, Riz. That's your height checked.

Now, you can tick the box.

Hmmm. Checked.

Next, I need to check your weight, which is how heavy you are.

So, I need you to stand on those scales.

Now, you just have to keep nice and still, with your arms by your sides.

That's easy.

You weigh 18 kilos,

which is less than one baby elephant.

Yeah, but it means I'm still heavier than the Compsognathus dinosaur,

which was about the size of a turkey.

Well, you certainly know your dinosaurs, Riz,

but now we know how much you weigh, you can tick the box.

Weight - checked.

-Great. Let's sit down again.

-Ah.

Next, I need to measure your heart rate, Riz,

which is how fast your heart is beating.

Ooh. How do you do that?

I'm going to use this on your finger.

Is my heart in my finger, Dr Ranj?

No, your heart is inside here.

So, how can you check my heart rate in my fingers?

Well, your heart squeezes and pumps your blood

all around your body, Riz, even to your fingertips.

If you feel your wrist, like this, you can feel your pulse,

which is your heartbeat.

Oh, wow! I can feel it!

-I'm checking your heart rate using this machine and this sensor.

-Cool!

And your heart rate is 120.

That's a big number.

The usual heart rate for a child your age

is between 95 and 140 beats per minute.

Yours is fine, Riz.

So, now that we know that, you can tick the box.

Heart rate - checked.

Next, I need to measure your breathing rate,

which is the number of times you breathe in and out in one minute.

Oh, I can breathe in and out really quickly, Dr Ranj...

HE PANTS

I'm sure you can, Riz, but for this, I just need you to breathe normally.

And it's best if you don't talk.

And that's it. You can talk again now.

Phew! Not talking was the hardest thing, Dr Ranj.

It's really difficult not to talk.

I just couldn't help not talking, but I did it.

The rest was really easy-peasy.

Well done, Riz.

Your breathing rate is 25 breaths per minute,

and now I know that, you can...

Tick the box.

Breathing rate - checked, Dr Ranj.

And finally, I need to measure your blood pressure,

which is how hard your heart

squeezes your blood around your body.

How do you do that, Dr Ranj?

I'm going to use this squeezy cuff around your arm, Riz.

Why is it squeezy, Dr Ranj?

Well, I'm going to fill the cup up with air like a balloon.

As the cuff fills up, it will feel tight around your arm.

Ooh. I can feel it, Dr Ranj.

Don't worry, it won't squeeze tight for long.

-Oh.

-And now the air's gone out, your arm should feel normal again.

-That was fun, Dr Ranj!

-Well done, Riz.

Your blood pressure is 95 over 60.

Cor, that's another big number.

That's normal for a child your age, Riz.

And now that we've finished measuring your blood pressure,

you can tick the last box.

Ooh. Blood pressure - check.

Check us out. This is fun, Dr Ranj.

Now we have all these facts about you

-and your body for your appointment, Riz.

-That's great, Dr Ranj.

I have something to give you and Dippy, Riz.

It is another dinosaur fact?

No. It's a sticker for coming to see me today.

"Thanks, Dr Ranj," says Dippy,

and thank you, Dr Ranj, says Riz!

You're welcome. Bye, Riz! Bye, Dippy!

Bye, Dr Ranj! He-he-he!

It's time for me and everyone here at the children's hospital

to say goodbye now. Thanks for coming to see us. See you next time.

But until then, be happy, be healthy, and get well soon!

If you're not feeling well,

it's always best to go and see your own doctor. And get well soon!
