'There are a lot of parts of what I do that can be scary for a kid,' Chicago orthopedic surgeon Dr. Felicity Fishman tells CBS News. But the cast artwork can sometimes calm those nerves and put patients at ease.
— Kids usually can't wait to get a cast off their arm, but 5-year-old Beau Stadel wasn't so sure. That's because Beau's cast is a work of art. The cast's intricate Pokémon design is the work of Dr. Felicity Fishman, an orthopedic surgeon at Shriners Children's Hospital in Chicago.
Fishman and her team draw custom designs pre-selected by her patients. Characters of all kinds come to life on the casts within 10 minutes. "There are a lot of parts of what I do that can be scary for a kid," Fishman said. But the artwork can sometimes calm those nerves and put her patients at ease.Beau's mom, Kara Stadel, said the cast"kind of helped with the distraction of what was happening."Trending News
