The medical staff conducted the clinic with school kids at Tropical Elementary on Merritt Island Tuesday morning, according to a press release from Health First.
They used medical supplies on teddy bears to teach the students how check vitals, perform CT scans, as well as casting and splinting.
The students were also encouraged to tell stories about their teddy bears and their “injuries” and treat them, said Health First. They got to take the bears home to take care of them.
