Hello, my name's Dr Ranj, welcome to my surgery. Are you well?

Yes!

Good. But someone's not feeling well.

I wonder who my next patient is?

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

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

It's...

Kiwa!

Wheee!

# I've got wheels and I can ride

# I can whizz down any slide

# I've got wheels

# I've got wheels

# I've got wheels

# I've got wheels

# The doctor knows I need

# Adventure, fun and speed

# I've got wheels

# Round and round I've got wheels

# Whizzing round I've got wheels

# Round and round I've got wheels

# Whizzing round I've got wheels! # Woo!

Come on in, Kiwa.

Oh, hello, Dr Ranj.

Oh, Kiwa, what's going on?

Well, I don't feel very well.

I am hot and I am sleepy.

-Oh, really?

-Yeah.

I've been in bed all day.

I feel rubbish.

I couldn't even take

Charlie and Scout out for a walk.

-Your dogs?

-Yeah. And that's not all.

Don't tell anyone, Doctor,

but I am covered in yucky, itchy spots.

-Yes, I can see that.

-It's just horrible.

-Don't worry, the spots don't look that bad.

-No, not the spots.

I'm supposed to be going camping next week, but I won't be able to now.

-Because I'm so poorly.

-Camping?

-That sounds adventurous.

-It is.

Last time we went camping,

me and my dogs were sleeping

and one night a grizzly bear

tried to get into our tent.

Luckily for me,

Scout and Charlie are really brave

and they barked him away. Woof! Woof!

A grizzly bear? Really?

Well, it sounded like a grizzly bear. Grrrr.

But maybe it was a cat.

Can you tell me any more about how you're feeling?

Well, my tummy hurts and my whole body aches,

-just like when I had a cold that time.

-OK.

Let's take your temperature to see exactly how hot you are.

Erm, will you use therm... a therm... thermometer?

That's right.

Now, I need to pop this under your arm.

No, no, it tickles!

-I'll try not to tickle you.

-KIWA LAUGHS

-But I haven't even you touched yet.

-I know, but I know what's coming.

Can you say "Spaceship-shaped chips?"

Spaceship...

Spaceship shaped chips. Did it!

Very good.

The thermometer tells me you've got a bit of a temperature,

which means your body is trying to get rid of an illness.

Oh, no. What kind of illness?

Well, I've seen the spots before and I think you've got chickenpox.

Seriously?

How can I have chickenpox, I'm not even a chicken!

No, that's just its name. Chickenpox.

-It's got nothing to do with chickens.

-That is really funny.

-I'm going to need to take a look at your spots.

-OK, Dr Ranj.

I hope it doesn't tickle like the thermometer.

OK, let's have a look.

I can see that some of the spots are red,

some of them look like blisters, and some of them are scabbing over.

-You've definitely got chickenpox.

-Oh!

They're even in my ears and my mouth, Dr Ranj.

Oh, that's not very nice.

Some people just get a few spots

but others are covered head to toe, like you.

It get so scratchy! Sometimes I can't even operate my wheelchair.

Try not to scratch, though.

-Why are chickenpox spots so itchy?

-I know.

-Let's ask Nurse Morag and the Healthy Helpers to explain.

-OK.

-Hello, Nurse Morag.

-Hi, Dr Ranj.

Who have you got with you today?

-Hello, it's Kiwa.

-Hi!

-Have you got a question for me?

-Yes, I have.

Why are chicken box spots so itchy?

Ah, I think that's one for my Healthy Helpers.

# Catch that ball, yeah It's your go

# Give me questions, catch and throw

# Healthy helpers will show and tell

-# How you can keep fit and well

-# Ask the nurse

# Catch that ball, yeah It's your go

# Give me questions, catch and throw

# Healthy helpers will show and tell

# How you can keep fit and well

-# Ask me what you need to know

-# Ask the nurse

# Catch that ball, yeah It's your go

# Give me questions, catch and throw

# Healthy helpers will show and tell

# How you can keep fit and well

# Ask me what you need to know

# Give me questions Catch and throw! #

Today, I'm in York and my Healthy Helpers are...

Hello, my name is Peter and I love having sleepovers.

Hello, my name's Helen and I like playing with my dolls.

Hello, my name's Mohammed,

and I like it when my friends come to play with me.

My name is Scarlett and when I grow up I want to be a ballerina.

-Now, Healthy Helpers. Who here has had chickenpox?

-Me!

-You've all had it?

-Yeah.

And can you tell me what happened when you had it?

When I had it, they were itching. They were very itching.

Have you got chickenpox?

No, like most people, I had them when I was wee, like you.

What happened when you had chickenpox?

-Could you go out and play?

-No.

We'd have to stay in bed.

I did that as well.

So, Peter, where did you have the chickenpox spots?

-In my mouth.

-Oh.

-On my teeth.

-On your teeth?

MOHAMMED LAUGHS

On my head. I have it everywhere, even my back. Oh, my goodness.

Mohammed, when you had your chickenpox spots, where were they?

On my head, in my ears,

in my mouth and on my tongue.

Shall we go and find out why chickenpox spots are so itchy?

-CHILDREN: Yeah!

-OK, let's go, then.

Let's pretend that this outline is the human body.

Lots of the things that make us unwell

are caused by tiny, tiny things called germs

and chickenpox is a type of germ called a virus.

Doctors don't have medicine they can give to you

when you've got the chickenpox virus,

but the good news is that your body can fight it all by itself.

-Now, can you two be the chickenpox virus for me?

-Yes!

-Let me see your angry face.

-Raaawr!

Oh, that is angry.

Now, one day, the chickenpox virus entered Kiwa's body...

and she probably got the virus from someone else that had it.

When it got into her body it made her feel unwell

and when they got to her skin, they gave her all the red spots!

That's it.

Get those red spots everywhere.

Some in the body.

Excellent.

But our bodies are really good at fighting a virus and we have

things called superheroes which are white blood cells.

Are you going to be my superheroes? OK.

Now, one day the body sent the superheroes in to fight

the chickenpox virus. Go get them, guys!

-That's it. Gather up those spots.

-Raaawr!

Well done. You're nearly there.

Just a few more to go.

Oh, you're definitely beating the virus now.

I think you're going to win.

That's it, nearly there.

Oh, the viruses are really angry, now.

Excellent. Right guys, gather round.

And we have a winner.

The winner is, the superheroes!

-Yey!

-Yey!

So, Kiwa, the superheroes are busily fighting

the virus inside your spots and it's the fight that's making them itch.

That's what happens when you have chickenpox. Back to you, Dr Ranj.

Bye-bye, Kiwa. And remember, don't scratch.

Get well soon, Kiwa!

Bye, Nurse Morag.

Say goodbye, Kiwa. Kiwa?

Kiwa, what are you doing here? You heard Nurse Morag.

You'll soon be able to play again.

But I can't go camping.

If I can't go camping, this is going to be my tent.

I know it's hard, but remember,

Nurse Morag said no scratching.

-OK.

-Don't worry, I know what to do.

Don't scratch. Do not scratch.

No scratching!

I'm going to give you the things to help you feel better.

-Then you can go camping after all.

-OK.

You need medicine to stop you feeling so hot.

I'll be sure to give this to your grandma to give to you.

And some lotion to soothe those spots.

-Your grandma can help you with that too.

-Phew.

So will that stop the itching?

Well, you'll feel less itchy.

Drink plenty, to give your superheroes energy.

And, I know it's going to be hard, you need to get lots of rest.

If you do all those things,

you should be well enough to go camping next week.

Really? That is actually brilliant.

# Your temperature's rising Too high now

# Too high now

# You're scratching and itching Top to toe

# Oh, it's really itchy

# We're going to make those germs go

# Going to make those germs go. #

Oh, have you seen this spot?

If I go camping, will I give

chickenpox to anyone else?

Until your spots have scabbed over you can still

pass the chickenpox on.

But you should be fine in about a week.

I'm going to tell the dogs we're going camping, yippee!

Oh, you're so funny, Dr Ranj.

Well, this is for you. Here you go.

Thank you. Bye, Dr Ranj!

Bye, Kiwa. Happy camping!

And thanks to you for coming too. I'll see you soon.

Until then, be happy, be healthy.
