Prescribing a good laugh

THIS young patient at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children played host to some special guests.

Three clown doctors dropped by and helped put a smile on little Aspen Bennett’s face.

Dr Zog, Dr Squash and Dr Mousse – aka Gareth Williams, Ben Winger and Rachel Colles – made sure there were red noses for everyone.

The Clown Doctors are a team of carefully chosen professional performers who undergo specialist training to work with children in hospital and hospice, residential or respite care.

They visit sick children at the hospital in the Capital twice per week.
