I'm naturally a very cheerful person. I've always
been a clown. In fact my father's a clown and I started
working with him when I was eight years old. I knew it
was just the job for me and I became a clown doctor
because I think it's a great way to cheer up sick,
irightened children in hospital. I wear a fancy coat,
a yellow shirt, and tights with big stripes. Also, I have
a red rubber nose and wear my hair in crazy plaits.

Being a clown in a hospital is very tiring both
physically and emotionally. We have to learn not to
show our feelings, otherwise we'd be useless. Clown
doctors arę sensitive but this is not a side most people
see. To the children we're happy all the timej['m still
learning to allow myself to feel sad occasionally.
There arę special kids you get really close to. At the
moment F m working
with a very sick little
girl from Bośnia who
speaks no English,
so our only common
language is laughter.
She's been in and
out of hospital for
operations so many
times and she's always
on my mind.
