Interesting. And good that he has this special talent to help put kids at ease and get them to feel better about what’s going to happen.

But every hospital I’ve visited, latex balloons are a big NO-NO due to the allergy factor… even a balloon that doesn’t touch a patient still leaves the latex particles in the air, hence the “no latex balloons allowed” policy anywhere in the building.

It is all about patient education, creating an informed consumer with simplified tested techniques. Patients who understand their disease and treatments will have a more uneventful recovery process. Families will understand how to further enhance and support those who need their help and assistance. That is really what it is all about. A smile and a nod of the head indicating understanding.
