01:37Look at that!
01:57Oh, hi!
01:59Welcome to Sesame Street!
02:00All right, Elmo.
02:01It's your turn.
02:02Go ahead.
02:03Elmo?
02:05Elmo?
02:06What's the matter?
02:06Are you okay?
02:07Huh?
02:08Oh, oh!
02:09Oh, yeah, yeah, sure, Gina.
02:10Elmo's feeling, um...
02:12Elmo's feeling...
02:14Elmo?
02:16Elmo, honey.
02:17It's really important for you to tell me if you're not feeling well, okay?
02:20So is that what's the matter?
02:21Are you feeling sick?
02:25Elmo doesn't feel too good, Gina.
02:28No, what's the matter?
02:29Does your tummy hurt?
02:30What?
02:31No.
02:33No, not your tummy?
02:34Well, I see you scratching your ear.
02:35Is that what's the matter?
02:37Look, tell me exactly how you're feeling.
02:39Okay, Gina.
02:41Elmo woke up this morning
02:45And his ear felt so bad
02:49Elmo woke up this morning
02:53And his ear felt so bad
02:57It was the very worst earache
03:02That Elmo ever had
03:05Oh, jeez!
03:07Yes, Elmo's ear is hurting
03:10And his nose is stuffy, too
03:13His little red body is aching
03:18That's why Elmo's feeling blue
03:22Yeah, Elmo's burning up with fever
03:26And he don't know what to do
03:30Elmo, come here, come here
03:35Let me feel your head a minute, come here
03:37Oh, Elmo, you are burning up
03:40When did you start feeling like this?
03:42This morning or when we were playing?
03:44When?
03:45Well, Elmo's ear started hurting this morning
03:47But now it really, really hurts
03:49Oh, well, honey, if it really hurts this bad
03:52We should probably go see a doctor
03:53Doctor?
03:55Oh, yeah, Elmo's calling back the doctor
03:59And he's nervous about the nurse
04:03Cause it's bad as being sick is
04:08Well, the doctor might be worse
04:11Well, the doctor might be worse
04:13Should we stay sick or see the doctor?
04:16Elmo finds it hard to chew
04:19Elmo finds it hard to chew
04:21Should we stay sick or see the doctor?
04:25Either way, Elmo might lose
04:27Either way, Elmo might lose
04:30He's got those spirits, your spirits, hurry
04:32But the doctor's kind of scary
04:34Spirit!
04:35Hi, Gina.
04:40Hi, Gina.
04:42Hey.
04:42Hey, Elmo.
04:43What you doing down there?
04:45Playing hide-and-seek?
04:46Oh, no, no.
04:47See, Elmo has an earache, and he's a little bit frightened to go to the doctor.
04:51Oh.
04:51Oh.
04:53Oh, Elmo, you don't have to be scared.
04:55The doctor is your friend.
04:59How does Rosita know that?
05:01Because I've been to the doctor, and so have you, Elmo.
05:06Here, Big Bird and I will show you, okay?
05:09I'll be the doctor.
05:12Yes, and I'll be the nurse.
05:14Hello, Elmo.
05:16I'm Nurse Big Bird.
05:18Nurse Big Bird?
05:21Dr. Rosita, we'll see you now.
05:24Oh, that's me.
05:25Hola, my little red friend, monster.
05:29I will now examine you to find out why are you sick.
05:34Okay.
05:35First, stick out your tongue and say,
05:38Ah, ah.
05:42Very good.
05:44Yeah.
05:45Now, little monster, watch this finger really closely.
05:51All right?
05:52Follow my finger.
05:54See, Elmo, it's not that scary.
05:56How's your ear feeling?
05:57Oh, it still really hurts, Gina.
06:01Oh, then you know what?
06:03We should really have a doctor take a look at it, okay?
06:06She'll figure out what to do to make you feel better.
06:09Elmo, here.
06:12You can take Radar.
06:13He's been to the doctor lots of times with me.
06:17Oh, thank you, Big Bird.
06:19That's okay.
06:20And thanks, Rosita, for helping Elmo not be so scared.
06:24Oh, no problem, Elmo.
06:26I hope you feel better.
06:28Oh, thanks, Rosita.
06:29Come on, let's go.
06:30It's going to be fine.
06:31Bye, guys.
06:33Bye.
06:34Bye.
06:34You'll be okay.
06:35Bye, Elmo.
06:38Oh, Mr. McGillipetti, you and your son just have a seat.
06:41Doctor will be right with you.
06:42Oh, thank you, nurse.
06:43Okay, come on, dear.
06:44Let's walk along here.
06:45Oh, look, there's a play table.
06:47Hey, Gina.
06:56Hey, Susan.
06:57Hey, Elmo.
06:59I'm feeling sick, huh?
07:00Yeah.
07:01Oh, okay.
07:02Well, doctor will see you really soon.
07:04Come right on in.
07:05Come on.
07:07Hey, look.
07:08That's Ernie and Brad.
07:10Yeah.
07:10No, no, no, Eddie.
07:12I have one thing.
07:13Sorry, Bert.
07:14Oh, look, and there's Baby Bear.
07:18Yeah, go talk to Baby Bear.
07:19That's good.
07:20Hi, Baby Bear.
07:22Oh, oh, hi, Elmo.
07:23What are you doing here?
07:25I got a really bad sore throat.
07:28Oh, he sure does.
07:30Yeah, and Bert has a bad cold.
07:32Yeah, what are you doing?
07:36Oh, I think Bert wants to know why you're here, Elmo.
07:39Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:41Elmo's ear really hurts bad.

08:02I've got a runny nose.
08:05He's got booboo's on his toes.
08:07And every time he takes a breath, he sneezes.
08:10Ah-choo!
08:11Ah-choo!
08:12Ah-choo!
08:13Ah-choo!
08:14He ripped and hurt my paw.

08:21Ah-choo!
08:22Ah-choo!
08:23Ah-choo!
08:24My trunk is all stuffed up.
08:25This morning I threw up.
08:27I just coughed for the hundredth time today.
08:31Ah-choo!
08:32My nailer's really sore.
08:33I can't take it anymore.
08:36Doc, you gotta see us right away!
08:39Ah-choo!
08:40That's one hundred and one cough!
08:42Ah-choo!
08:43Ah-choo!
08:44Ah-choo!
08:45Ah-choo!
08:46I've got one upset tummy, and my hoof is feeling crummy!
08:49And this throbbing in his forehead's getting stronger.
08:52Oh, dear.
08:53I've got an aching Elmo's ear, and that's why Elmo's here.
08:58Doctor, please, we can't wait any longer.
09:01Bird, you're next!
09:03Ah-choo!
09:04Ah-choo!
09:05Ah-choo!
09:06I've got a scratchy throat, and this fever's got my goat.
09:09And the horn aches made me one unhappy cow.
09:13Brr!
09:13I feel out of sorts and drowsy.
09:16We're sick of feeling lousy.
09:18Doctor, please, we've got to see you now.

09:23Doctor, please, we want to get well now.

09:41Oh, take a look at the place.
09:43Doctor...
09:44Bye!
09:47Okay, I am sure the doctor will be here.
09:53Elmo?
09:54Mm-hmm.
09:55Mm-hmm.
09:56Mm-hmm.
09:57Mm-hmm.
09:58Mm-hmm.
09:59So how long have you been feeling sick, Bert?
10:02Ah-choo!
10:04One week.
10:05Oh, any stomach pain, Bert?
10:08Ah-choo!
10:09Ah, no.
10:10Ah, but a lot of coughing?
10:13Mm-hmm.

10:20Yes.
10:21Mm-hmm.
10:22Two-some.
10:23Huh?
10:24Well, anyway, Bert, it looks like you definitely have a bad cold.
10:28Bert, you definitely have a bad cold.
10:30Yes.
10:31Now, what you need to do, Bert, is drink plenty of liquids.
10:33Drink plenty of liquids, Bert.
10:34Yes, and get lots and lots of rest.
10:35Lots and lots of rest, Bert.
10:36Yes, and get lots and lots of rest.
10:37Lots and lots of rest, Bert.
10:38Yes.
10:39You'll feel better in just a few days, Bert.
10:40You'll feel better in just a few days.
10:41I know what to start our day.
10:42I know what to start our day.
10:43I'm just trying to help, Bert.
10:44Yes, he's just trying to help.
10:45Excuse me.
10:46Hi.
10:47Have any of you seen Elmo?
10:48Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:49Ah.
10:50He.
10:51Ah.
10:52Went.
10:53Ah-choo!
10:54That way.
10:55Thank you, Bert.
10:56Ah-choo!
10:57You're welcome.
10:58Oh, here you go, Bert.
10:59Oh, yes, Bert.
11:00Here you go, buddy.
11:01Ah-choo!
11:02All righty, then.
11:03Just open wide and say, ah.
11:06Bah!
11:07Oh, yeah!
11:08Oh, dearie me.
11:10Sorry.
11:11Oh.
11:12Well, then, uh, open wide and say, uh, bah.
11:18Ah.
11:19Close enough.
11:27So, what seems to be the problem?
11:29Well, you see, Doctor, Baby Bear had one of those strep throats last year.
11:33Mm-hmm.
11:34So, when his throat got real sore, we came right on in.
11:37Well, good thinking.
11:38Oh, yeah.
11:39Now, what I think we...
11:40Hey, uh, excuse me.
11:41Um, did any of you see Elmo run by here?
11:43No, Gina.
11:44Haven't seen him.
11:45Now, young bear, remember last time I took this stick and I touched it on your throat.
11:50Well, ha-ha, we're just gonna have to do that again.
11:53Wait a minute.
11:54Wait a minute.
11:55You're gonna, you're gonna, you're gonna put that stick in Baby Bear's throat?
11:58Mm-hmm.
11:59Oh, aren't you scared, Baby Bear?
12:01Well, yeah, a wee little bit.
12:03Oh, now, hold on there, Baby Bear.
12:06It'll be fine.
12:07Listen, we'll just count one, two, three, and it'll be all over.
12:13Okay, son?
12:14Okay.
12:16Ready when you are, Doc.
12:18Okay, Baby Bear.
12:19Say, ah.
12:21Ah.
12:22Ah.
12:23One.
12:24One.
12:25Two.
12:26Three.
12:27All done.
12:28Yay!
12:29Aw, that's my boy.
12:30I'm so proud of you, Baby Bear.
12:33Aw.
12:34Wow.
12:35Are you okay, Baby Bear?
12:36Getting hurt?
12:37Well, it felt a wee bit funny, but it was over really quick.
12:42Well, it looks like strep throat, but we'll know in a few minutes.
12:46Now, if it is, Baby Bear, you'll be fine once you take some medicine.
12:50It'll make you feel better very soon.
12:52But you should take it whenever Papa Bear here gives it to you until all the medicine
12:57is gone.
12:58Okay, Baby Bear?
12:59No problem, Doc.
13:00Thanks, Doctor.
13:01Hey, you're welcome.
13:02Yeah.
13:03Wow.
13:04Gina?
13:05Yeah?
13:06Elmo wants to see the doctor now, so Elmo can feel better, too.
13:10Aw.
13:11Elmo's ear hurts.
13:12Okay, come on, you.
13:14We are going to see the doctor, and you are going to feel so much better.
13:17All right.
13:18So, Elmo, let's find out why that ear of yours is hurting so much.
13:23Well, what's that for?
13:25Oh, well, I'll show you here.
13:27We're going to put these in your ears.
13:29It's okay.
13:30It's not going to hurt at all.
13:31And Elmo, you're going to hear something.
13:33Listen.
13:34Okay.
13:35Elmo hears thump, thump, thump, thump, thump.
13:39Mm-hmm.
13:40That's my heartbeat.
13:41Oh.
13:42And now I am going to listen to yours.
13:44Oh.
13:45I will put this in my ear and put this there.
13:49Oh.
13:50Hold still.
13:51Cold.
13:52Just a little bit.
13:53Now breathe deep.
13:54Mm-hmm.
13:56Mm-hmm.
13:57Anything else bothering you, Elmo?
13:59Is your nose stuffy?
14:00Elmo's body hurts.
14:02Mm-hmm.
14:03Do you feel hot, Elmo?
14:05Mm-hmm.
14:06Yeah?
14:07Does it hurt down here in your tummy?
14:08No.
14:09That tickles.
14:10Okay, Elmo.
14:11Let's check out your little piggies here.
14:14Hey.
14:15You got this little piggy and this little piggy.
14:21Oh, wait.
14:22Hold that pose.
14:23Uh-huh.
14:24Good.
14:25Good.
14:26Now let's look at that ear, Elmo.
14:28Okay.
14:29Okay.
14:30Now turn this way.
14:31I'm going to look inside your ear.
14:34Mm-hmm.
14:35Mm-hmm.
14:36Well, Elmo, the reason why your ear hurts so much is because you have an ear infection.
14:41It looks kind of red and swollen in there, and that's how I can tell.
14:45But it's nothing to worry about.
14:47We can take care of it with a little medicine called an antibiotic, okay?
14:52Antibiotic?
14:53You did so great, Elmo.
14:55I am so proud of you.
14:57Thank you, Tina.
14:58Oh, shit.
14:59You mean that's it?
15:00Well, that's almost it, Elmo.
15:02Okay.
15:03Write this out.
15:04Now, he's going to need to take this medicine until it is all gone.
15:09Okay.
15:10Even if he starts to feel better.
15:12Mm-hmm.
15:13Okay, Elmo?
15:14Okay.
15:15Is the medicine going to taste yucky?
15:18Well, actually, it tastes pretty good.
15:20But you should never take it unless given to you by a grown-up.
15:24Okay.
15:25Now, there's only one thing left to do.
15:28Okay.
15:29Oh, no.
15:30Okay.
15:31What's the doctor going to do?
15:33Okay, Elmo.
15:34Oh, no.
15:35Elmo?
15:36Look inside and pick one.
15:38Ah!
15:39Stickers!
15:40Yay!
15:41Oh, Elmo wants some...
15:43Oh, the rainbow!
15:45Okay, we can give you a rainbow right here.
15:46And I promise you, in a few days, you will be feeling much better.
15:58Aw, thank you, doctor.
16:00You're welcome, Elmo.
16:01I love it.
16:02What a handsome sticker for a very handsome monster.
16:04Come on, everybody.
16:05Let's go to the library!
16:06Yay!
16:07Let's go!
16:08Oh, look, Elmo.
16:09Wow, he looks all better now.
16:10I know.
16:11Yay!
16:12I don't want you to get a chill, Bert.
16:13Annie!
16:14Got to keep you nice and warm.
16:15Annie, I don't need a blanket.
16:16My coat's all gone.
16:17Can't take any chances, Bert.

16:40Do I have to?
16:41I feel so much better.
16:43Aw, don't you remember what the doctor said, son?
16:45You have to take your medicine every day until it's finished, even if you're feeling better.
16:51Okay, Papa Bell.
16:53There you go.
16:54Mmm!
16:55Yummy!

18:05Yeah.
18:06They are your doctors and they really shine.

18:12If you're hurt or you're sick, they're good people to tell.
18:15Cause they know lots of things that can help you feel well.
18:19No, Arnie.
18:20I don't need a hot water bottle.
18:22Oh, just give it a try.
18:23Come on.
18:24Arnie.
18:25If you've got a fever, we'll help you to shake it.
18:28If we give you medicine, make sure you take it.
18:32And if you scrape your knees or you can't stop that sneeze.
18:36People, we beg you, come visit us, please.
18:40Cause keeping folks well is what we're here to do.
18:44We did it for Elmo.
18:46We'll do it for you.
18:48Achoo.
18:49Achoo.
18:50Oh, no.
18:51Who'll sit now?
18:52Well, it's Radar.
18:54Achoo.
18:55Oh.
18:56Don't worry, Radar.
18:58Elmo knows all about going to the doctor.
19:00Yeah.
19:01Yeah.
19:02They'll check your wee little throat.
19:03Yeah.
19:04And your ears if they hurt.
19:05Yeah.
19:06And you know, if you have to take medicine, we memo only take it when a grown-up gives it to you.
19:11Oh, that's right.
19:12Yeah.
19:13And soon you'll be feeling all better.
19:15Yeah.
19:16Yeah.
19:17They did it for Elmo.
19:19They'll do it for you.
19:21Yes, we are your doctors.
19:22We're here to help you.
19:24Yes, we are your doctors.
19:26We're here to help you.
19:29A pediatrician is a doctor who takes care of little kids.
19:46Pediatrician.
19:47Pediatrician.
19:48Pediatrician.
19:49Pediatrician.

19:51I love my doctor.
19:53I love my doctor.
19:54My favorite doctor is Dr. Shapazo.
19:57My doctor's name is Dr. Horowitz.
20:00Dr. K.
20:01Dr. K.
20:02Dr. Harvey.
20:03I have lots of check-ups.
20:05Check-up, check-up, check-up, check-up.
20:08It's called a check-up because he checks up on me.
20:12Checking their heads, eyes, nose, throat.
20:16When he looked in my ear, he'd say, there's a rabbit in my ear.
20:21No!
20:22Ouch.
20:23Ouch.
20:24It doesn't hurt for me, but it hurts a lot for my big brother.
20:26I like to give my doctor a check-up.
20:28Stepescope.
20:29Stepescope.
20:30Stepescope!
20:32Stepescope.
20:33Stepescope.
20:34Stepescope.
20:35Stepescope.
20:36Stepescope.
20:37Stepescope.
20:38I hear my heart.
20:39Sounds pretty good to me.
20:41Boom.
20:42Boom.
20:43Boom.
20:44Boom.
20:45Boom.
20:46There's a bunch of doctors.
20:47An eye doctor.
20:48A nose doctor.
20:49A brain surgeon.
20:50A heart surgeon.
20:51Don't be scared.
20:52Don't be scared because doctors don't bite.
20:54I was never scared of the doctor.
20:56I like to be a doctor.
20:58Doctor!
20:59My doctor makes me feel better.
21:01I'm healthy!
21:02Pedia, Pedia, Pedia, Trishin!
21:09When you go visit the doctor, he helps you stay healthy.
21:12But he can't do it without us.
21:14Hey, down here!
21:16No, a little lower.
21:17Hi there!
21:19I'm a Band-Aid, and I'm just one of a doctor's many, many helpers.
21:23Hey, come and meet my friends.
21:26This is Stethoscope.
21:28Hi!
21:29She's got a job that's near to your heart.
21:32Very near.
21:33Get it?
21:34Oops!
21:35Gotta get to work.
21:37The doctor uses Stethoscope to listen to your heart.
21:40How's it sounding, Steph?
21:41Now that's a beat that can't be beat.
21:44Moving right along.
21:45Here's a friend who doesn't mind if you stick your tongue out at him.
21:48Ha!
21:49It's tongue depressor!
21:51My job is anything but depressin'.
21:54Ha, ha, ha, ha!
21:55Yee-haw!
21:57He holds your tongue down so the doctor can get a good look in your throat.
22:02Ooh!
22:03Now there's someone else I want you to meet.
22:05This is Needle.
22:06Um, she gets a bad rap, but she's really here to help you.
22:10That's right.
22:11Sometimes doctors use me to give you medicine.
22:14I might hurt a little, but I can really help you stay healthy.
22:19She's got a point.
22:21Literally.
22:22Ow.
22:23Hey.
22:24That wasn't so bad.
22:27And when Needle's done with her job, that's when I get to work.
22:32I cover up your boo-boos to help them heal.
22:34I'll stick with you.
22:36See?
22:37All better.
22:38Mwah.
22:39Aw, gee.
22:40Thanks, Mom.
22:42I'm Nurse Wendy, the school nurse, and this is my nurse's portrait.
22:49She's friendly.
22:50She takes care of us.
22:52Like a doctor except for a school.
22:54She's a nurse.
22:55Don't touch it.
22:56How'd the dirt go in?
22:57I don't know.
22:58Okay, close your eye.
22:59Put your head all the way up.
23:01Two seconds.
23:02Keep it closed.
23:03Now open it.
23:05Excellent.
23:06Done.
23:07Done.
23:08Feel better.
23:09When I hurt my leg, I went to Nurse Wendy and she helped me.
23:14I see Nurse Wendy when I'm sick.
23:16She helps you get better.
23:18What happened?
23:21If they hurt her, if they get a scrape, she would probably know what to do.
23:27What's hurting you?
23:28My ear.
23:29Let me see.
23:30Which ear?
23:32It's a good idea to come to the nurse with any kind of earache, stomachache.
23:37Headache.
23:38Any kind of sore or bleeding or scratch that needs to be cleaned.
23:42If your throat hurts.
23:44Once I got that.
23:45If your foot hurts, leg hurts, anything that hurts.
23:48Does it hurt here?
23:50Here?
23:51Whenever you're really feeling unlike yourself, you should come to see the school nurse.
23:56Just to see if it's the beginning of something or if it's something that we don't have to worry about.
24:00But it's always good to just check.
24:02Thank you, Nurse Wendy.
24:04There are lots of things that can make you sneeze.
24:09Some pepper, a cold, or allergies.
24:16But no matter the reason, everyone agrees that when you sneeze, cover it, please.
24:25Sneezing can make germs fly through the air and land on whomever is standing there.
24:34Then they might get sick and that isn't fair.
24:38So cover your sneeze to show that you care.
24:42But how do I cover my sneeze, you may say?
24:45With my foot?
24:47With my cat?
24:49With my mom's cheese souffle?
24:53Well, don't you worry.
24:55We'll tell you the way to cover that sneeze so the germs won't stray.
25:00Some people cover a sneeze with their hand.
25:03What?
25:04It's better than nothing.
25:06But they don't understand that the next thing they touch gets their germs on it.
25:12And that's not exactly what they had planned.
25:16A tissue will do.
25:18A handkerchief, too.
25:20But if those aren't around, here's what you do.
25:25Cover your sneeze with your arm.
25:28A tissue.
25:29Then those germs won't get away from you.
25:32A tissue.
25:33Bless you.
25:35No.
25:50It takes a while for a seed to become a flower.
26:05It takes a while to learn to read and spell.
26:09You can't become a grown-up in an hour.
26:12A sick body needs time.
26:15Time to get well.
26:19You've got to be patient to be a patient.
26:23Wait out and do what the doctors say.
26:26You've got to be patient to be a patient.
26:30And when you're well, you can go out and play.
26:36You don't want to miss out.
26:38You want to have fun.
26:40But you must take it slow until the sickness is done.
26:44It's not easy to wait and stay inside all day.
26:47But when you get well, you can go out and play.
26:54You've got to be patient to be a patient.
26:58Stay in bed, do what the doctors say.
27:01You've got to be patient to be a patient.
27:05Waiting for the sickness to be on its way.
27:10It may seem boring, may seem slow to you.
27:14For getting better, it's what you have to do.
27:17You do the same things over again all day.
27:20When you get better, you can go out and play.
27:27You've got to be patient to be a patient.
27:32Stay in bed, do what the doctors say.
27:35You've got to be patient to be a patient.
27:39Waiting for the sickness to be on its way.
27:46You've got to be patient to be a patient.
27:49You'll be feeling better each and every day.
27:52And if you are patient to patient patient,
27:57pretty soon, you can go out and play.
28:22Ernie, what are you doing?
28:25Oh, hi, Bert.
28:26Hi.
28:27I'm listening to my heartbeat.
28:28Oh, good.
28:29See, I'm thinking of becoming a doctor, Bert.
28:31Really?
28:32Mm-hmm.
28:33That's terrific.
28:34And so I thought I would just do those things that doctors do.
28:36Oh.
28:37And Bert, that's where you can help me.
28:39How can I help you?
28:41Well, Bert, see, you can pretend to be a patient,
28:43and I'll pretend to be the doctor,
28:44and I'll do all those things that a doctor does
28:46when he checks the patient to see if he's healthy.
28:49Why? Do I look sick?
28:50No, no, no, Bert.
28:51I just want to check and make sure you're healthy.
28:52OK, Bert?
28:53Oh.
28:54Oh, I see.
28:55And I'll be the patient?
28:56Mm-hmm.
28:57OK, fine.
28:58Sure. Why not?
28:59OK.
29:00Open your mouth and say, ah.
29:01Oh, OK.
29:02Ah.
29:03Ah.
29:04Oh.
29:05Bert.
29:06What?
29:07What?
29:08What is it?
29:09What?
29:10Tell me I can take it.
29:11What?
29:12What?
29:13It's dark in there, Bert.
29:14You have a dark throat, Bert.
29:16Of course I have a dark throat.
29:18Open your mouth and say, ah, again.
29:20Ah.
29:21Ah.
29:22Ah.
29:23Ah.
29:24Ah.
29:25Ah.
29:26Ah.
29:27Ah.
29:28Ah.
29:29Ah.
29:30You do it very well, Bert.
29:31So how?
29:32Am I healthy?
29:33Well, I don't know yet.
29:34OK.
29:35Bend down.
29:36Bend down.
29:37Bend down.
29:38My heart is not there.
29:40It isn't?
29:41No.
29:42Will you please?
29:43Oh, yes.
29:44I know.
29:45I remember.
29:46Down here.
29:47Over there.
29:48That's right.
29:49What do you mean you remember?
29:50Of course you know.
29:51Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
29:54Will you stop that?
29:55Oh, OK, Bert.
29:56What are you doing?
29:57You've got a good heartbeat going there, Bert.
29:58It is good?
29:59It's very heavy.
30:00Oh.
30:01It's very heavy.
30:02Is that good heavy?
30:03But first I have to check your pulse.
30:04My pulse? Why?
30:05Just a second.
30:06I have to check your pulse here.
30:07Where is it?
30:08Right there.
30:09Wait a minute.
30:10What's wrong?
30:11What?
30:12Wait a minute, what?
30:13What?
30:14What?
30:15Either you have no pulse or my watch is broken.
30:16What?
30:17That's an old joke.
30:18A joke?
30:19OK.
30:20Just a second.
30:21I'll feel it.
30:22Please tell me.
30:23There's your pulse.
30:24Got it?
30:25Got it?
30:26Got it?
30:27It's going ba-doom, ba-doom, ba-doom.
30:28That's a cute little pulse you got there, Bert.
30:29Fine.
30:30It's cute.
30:31Congratulations, Bert.
30:32Yeah.
30:33Your examination is all over.
30:34Congratulations.
30:35Then I'm healthy.
30:36Well, I don't know, Bert.
30:37What do you mean?
30:38See, I'm not a doctor.
30:39You'd have to ask a doctor.
30:40But I'm not a doctor yet, Bert.
30:42Well, when can you tell me if I'm healthy?
30:43I mean, not right this minute can I tell you, Bert.
30:45But when?
30:46Well, later, Bert.
30:47When later?
30:48When can you tell me?
30:49Well, let's see.
30:50I have eight years of grade school.
30:52Yeah.
30:53And four years of high school.
30:54Yeah.

31:02OK, fine, fine.
31:03But after all that, then can you tell me?
31:05When can you tell me I'm healthy?
31:07When, when, when?
31:08In about 23 years, Bert.
31:10Gee, Bert fainted.
31:15Is there a doctor in the house?
31:17Hello there.
31:18Would you like to know how you're able to jump and run like that?
31:34It's your bones and muscles.
31:35Your bones support your whole body.
31:36That's your funny bone.
31:37Your muscles allow you to move your bones so that you can do all sorts of things.
31:39like walking.
31:40And running.
31:42And doing all sorts of things.
31:44Oh, my gosh.

32:27We use the bones and muscles in our hands to catch and to throw.
32:35Great shot!
32:36The calcium in milk keeps your bones strong and healthy.
32:40Running and jumping keeps your muscles strong.
32:41Did you say jump?

33:05Come on in.
33:06Welcome.

33:09I feel pretty good.
33:11Jordan, do you know what I'm going to do now?
33:14I think you're taking the blood pressure right now.
33:17That's right.
33:29Looks good.
33:33What's next?
33:35Do you remember how big it was last time?
33:39It was 99 or about 100 last time.
33:47It's getting bigger.
33:49Wow.

38:19Oh!
38:21Oops.
38:22He's okay.
38:23Go ahead, put the stethoscope on, Mr. Noodle.
38:27Wait, now what's he doing?
38:30It's not a tail, Mr. Noodle.
38:33The stethoscope goes in your ears, Mr. Noodle.
38:36Put it in your ears.
38:37Yeah, your ears.
38:41Right, up there.
38:43Your ears.
38:45Good job.
38:46Now he's got it.
38:48The stethoscope helps you hear better.
38:51Ooh, be careful.
38:54A doctor uses it to listen to the heart.
38:58Whose heart are you going to listen to, Mr. Noodle?
39:01So find somebody.
39:03Mr. Noodle's looking around.
39:06Will he find someone?
39:07He's on the move.
39:11Oh, Mr. Noodle can listen to Elmo's heart.
39:16Go ahead, Mr. Noodle.
39:17No, not there.
39:18No, that's not where Elmo's heart is.
39:21It's here, in Elmo's chest.
39:25Go ahead, Mr. Noodle.
39:26Right there.
39:27Right there.
39:28Oh, that's cold.
39:30Oh, he's warming it up.
39:32Nice, Mr. Noodle.
39:33Better.
39:34Good job, Mr. Noodle.
39:37Sounds good.
39:38Oh, yay!
39:39You did it!
39:41Way to go, Mr. Noodle!
39:42Now what?
39:47Oh, yeah!
39:48Listen to your own heart.
39:50He found his heartbeat.
39:52Whoa!
39:53Mr. Noodle's heart is beating with a rhythm.
39:58He's doing his thing.
40:00Ba-boom, ba-boom, ba-do-do-do-do.
40:04He's got the beat.
40:05I like the way Mr. Noodle dances.
40:08Me too.
40:10Aw, Mr. Noodle has a lot of heart and soul.
40:15Oh, what's that, Dorothy?
40:17Oh, okay.
40:19Dorothy wants to ask someone else.
40:21What does a doctor do with a stethoscope?
40:25Dorothy, a doctor listens to your heartbeat
40:28with a stethoscope like this.
40:32Ba-boom, ba-boom, ba-boom.
40:35And a doctor also uses it to listen to your lungs.
40:40Breathe deep.
40:42Breathe deep.
40:45Breathe deep.
40:46Sounds great.
40:49Oh, thanks, everybody.
40:51Oh, and thank you, Dorothy.
40:54Oh, now Emma will listen to a baby's heartbeat.
40:58Hi, Sienna.
41:01Sienna, where's your heart?
41:03Oh, there it is.
41:04Okay, okay.
41:07Oh, yeah!
41:09Wow!
41:10Boy, you have a really good heartbeat.
41:14Oh, thank you, baby.
41:16Muah!
41:17Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
41:22Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
41:25Boy, you've got to have heart.
41:28Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
41:28Oh, and now Elmo has a question for oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, you.
41:33Yeah, you.
41:34How many stethoscopes are dancing in this conga line?
41:39Let's count them together and find out.
41:42One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!
41:57Oh, boy, eight stethoscopes dancing in the conga line.
42:02And one fairy red monster.
42:10Oh, great counting, everybody.
42:12Elmo has mail.
42:13Elmo has mail.
42:14Elmo has mail.
42:16Elmo has email.
42:18Elmo has mail.
42:19Oh, look.
42:21Boy, the computer is playing doctor today.
42:24Elmo has mail.
42:26Thank you, computer.
42:27Oh, it's email from Big Bird.
42:33Yay!
42:35Hi, Elmo.
42:36I'm at the doctor's office in the waiting room.
42:40I'm waiting to see the doctor.
42:42Hey, gee.
42:44I guess that's why they call this the waiting room.
42:47I like waiting because there's so many great toys in this waiting room,
42:52like this doctor kit.
42:54Okay, Radar.
42:58Now, I'm Dr. Big Bird, and I'm going to examine you now.
43:02First, I'll look in your ear.
43:05Uh-huh.
43:07Fuzzy.
43:08Just like they should be.
43:10Big Bird, the doctor will see you now.
43:14The doctor?
43:15Oh, the doctor.
43:21Gotta go.
43:22Bye, Elmo.
43:23Oh, thanks, computer.
43:28Boy, that makes Elmo wonder.
43:31Who else goes to the doctor?
43:34Say, Elmo meant doctor, the doctor.
43:39Who goes to the doctor and who doesn't?
43:43Let's find out.
43:44Oh, drawer.
43:45Open up, please.
43:48Oh, come on, drawer.
43:50Like the doctor says, open up and say, ah.
43:57Do birthday kids go to the doctor?
44:00No.
44:01When a doctor can have a birthday,
44:04does a baby go to the doctor?
44:09Yes.
44:10A baby doctor.
44:11A baby doctor.
44:12No, not a baby who is a doctor.
44:16A doctor for babies and kids.
44:18A pediatrician.
44:20Oh, a pediatrician.
44:25Do elephants go to the doctor?
44:28Not like that.
44:29In a zoo, the animal doctor comes to an elephant.
44:34Does a rock go to the doctor?
44:37No, rocks don't go to doctors.
44:39Unless it's my pet rock, Rocco.
44:42Say, ah, Rocco.
44:44It's a rock, Zoe.
44:46Oh, thanks, drawer.
44:51Elmo's friend, Joe, went to the doctor for a checkup.
44:54And he told Elmo all about it.
44:57You want to watch, too, drawer?
44:58Okay.
45:03Once a year, I go to the doctor for a checkup.
45:06Just to make sure I'm healthy.
45:09My mom always comes with me.
45:11First, the nurse waved me.
45:17Nurses help doctors.
45:19Good.
45:20Then, she measured me.
45:22Turn around.
45:25I drew two inches last year.
45:29Then, the doctor came in.
45:32She asked me to take off my shirt so she could examine me.
45:37First, she listened to my heart with a stethoscope.
45:41Then, she listened to my lungs.
45:47Didn't hurt.
45:48But it was a little cold.
45:52Then, she looked in my ears.
45:54That didn't hurt.
45:56But it tickled a little bit.
45:58She used something called a tongue depressor to look at my throat.
46:03The doctor said to stick up my tongue and say, ah.
46:06Ah.
46:08That didn't hurt, either.
46:09Then, the doctor examined the rest of me.
46:14My eyes.
46:17My stomach.
46:21My knees.
46:23None of that hurt, either.
46:25She said I was very healthy.
46:27But I needed a shot.
46:30So I would stay healthy.
46:39That hurt.
46:41But only for a minute.
46:43And then, I got to pick out a sticker.
46:49And the exam was over.
46:52Mom said she was really proud of me.
46:55I was proud of me, too.
46:56Now, Elmo wants to learn more about doctors.
47:06How can Elmo find out more?
47:08Oh, it's TV.
47:09Is TV sick?
47:12Does TV need a doctor?
47:15No, no, no, no.
47:16Oh, Elmo gets it.
47:18We can watch the doctor's channel.
47:21Turn yourself on, TV.
47:23You're watching the doctor's channel.
47:25Just what the doctor ordered.
47:27And now, here's Doc Martin.
47:29Give it to us straight, Doc.
47:30Hi, Doc Martin here, with some doctorly advice.
47:43Hit it!
47:47You're asking me, Doc, how do I stay strong?
47:50Just do the doctor all day long.
47:54Do the doctor.
47:56Do the doctor with me.
48:00Open your mouth and it won't feel blah.
48:04Stick out your tongue and just say, ah.
48:08Ah, ah, ah, ah.
48:11Do the doctor.
48:14Show me your ears.
48:16Show me your eyes.
48:18Do when the doctor keeps you healthy, gals and guys.
48:22Do the doctor.
48:23Do the doctor with me.
48:26Rock around the dark.
48:30Show me your knees. Show me your feet. Let me hear your heart go beat, beat, beat.
48:38Do the doctor. Do the doctor with me.
48:48Do the doctor.
48:50Coming up next on The Doctor's Channel, Dr. No followed by Dr. Yes.
48:56Thanks, Stevie. Elmo wants to know even more.
49:01Hi, Elmo.
49:02Oh, hi, Big Bird.
49:04Hi, I'm back for my checkup.
49:06Oh, how did it go, Big Bird?
49:08Well, the doctor says I'm fine and feathered.
49:13Oh, good.
49:14Bye, Elmo.
49:15Bye, Big Bird.
49:17Elmo still wants to find out more about doctors.
49:21Oh, no.
49:22Sorry, sorry.
49:24Hi, Elmo meant doctors.
49:26Doctors.
49:27Sorry.
49:29How can we find out more?
49:31Even more.
49:33Excuse Elmo.
49:37Want to talk to a doctor?
49:39Oh, sure.
49:40What's up, Doc?
49:41Well, for one thing, there are lots of different kinds of doctors.
49:46Really?
49:47OK, doctors.
49:48The monster will see you now.
49:50Oh, yes.
49:51There he comes.
49:52OK.
49:53Hey, hey, hi, hi, hi.
49:54I'm an eye doctor.
49:56I am a foot doctor.
49:59What kind of doctor are you?
50:03He's not a doctor.
50:04He's a monkey.
50:05Hey.
50:06I'd like a second opinion.
50:07You're a monkey.
50:08Aw.
50:09He's my patient.
50:10I'm an animal doctor, a veterinarian.
50:13Oh, yeah.
50:14Even animals have doctors.
50:16That's right.
50:17Dogs, cats, giraffes, whales.
50:21Whoa, look, look, look.
50:23Dorothy's imagining Elmo as a veterinarian underwater.
50:28Hmm.
50:29OK.
50:30Time for your check-up.
50:31Open the water and say, ah!
50:33Ah!
50:34Ha!
50:35Ha!
50:36Ha!
50:37Ha!
50:38Ha!
50:39Ha!
50:40Ha!
50:41Ha!
50:42That goldfish has a whale of an imagination.
50:44She sure does.
50:45Boy, doctors are great.
50:46Oh, Dorothy thinks so, too.
50:48That's why Dorothy wants us to sing that doctor's song.
50:51Ooh, may we sing along, too?
50:53Sure.
50:54Wait.
50:55Do-do-do-do-do!
50:57Do-do-do-do!
50:58Do-do-do-do-do!
50:59Do-do-do-do-do!
51:00Doctors, doctors, doctors, doctors, doctors, doctors, doctors, doctors,
51:05Sing along!
51:06Doctors! doctors, doctors, doctors, doctors, doctors, doctors!
51:21Say goodbye Dorothy.
51:24Say goodbye, doctors.
51:25Goodbye.
51:36I was lost, I was lost.
51:42Hey everybody.
51:44Thank you, sir.
51:46Bye.
51:51I took my pet to the vet, cause her tummy was upset.
51:57When we got there to the vet, my pet started to sweat.
52:01Waiting was a dog, plus a chicken and a frog.
52:07I said, how do you do?
52:09They all said, we have the flu.
52:12Then a piglet came out with a happy looking snout.
52:17And he said to my pet, there's no need to be upset.
52:21Let's make pets feel real well.
52:24I was sick so I can tell that the truth is in the end.
52:29That's our really pet's best friend.
52:31Then that vet saw my pet, and she picked her up and rocked her.
52:36And my pet could tell that vet was a very nice pet doctor.
52:41The vet said to my pet, hmm, you're all covered with sweat.
52:46And your tummy sounds upset, but I'll make you feel well yet.
52:50And before I could get, to recite the alphabet.
52:55The vet, the vet nature, my pet, was as good as pets can get.
53:00Every pet at the vet danced a silly minuet.
53:05Cause I guess somehow they knew, she would make them feel good too.
53:10All the pets are going to feel real good, real good.
53:13All the pets are going to feel real good.
53:15Uh-huh.
53:15All the pets are going to feel real good, real good.
53:18All the pets are going to feel real good.
53:20So please don't forget to be sure and tell your pets that they shouldn't get upset when you take them to the vet.
53:30To the vet.
