How Hard Doctor Works

To become Doctor, you need to study hard, have a strong heart that wants to help people, and have the patience to keep learning.

After studying hard for 6 years at a medical university, you must pass the super hard National Medical Examination. But that is not the end! After passing, you have to do 2 years of training to finally step out on your own.

Even after becoming Doctor, Doctor keeps studying all the time to learn new ways to heal sickness. Also, taking care of Doctor's own mind and body is a very important part of the job to handle late-night emergencies and long work hours.

Doctor's Tools

Doctor uses special tools to check how your body is doing.

• Stethoscope: Doctor puts this on your chest or back to listen to your heart and breathing. It is a key tool so Doctor does not miss tiny signs inside your body.
• Penlight: Doctor uses this to shine a light into your throat or eyes to check them.
• Medical Record: This is a notebook where Doctor writes down the patient's records. Today, most doctors use electronic records on a computer.

Hints for Enjoying Your Coloring Page!

Many people think of Doctor in a "white coat," but you can use your favorite colors to make a colorful outfit for Doctor. It is also fun to imagine a high-tech Doctor from the future holding shiny, glowing tools!

There is a reason why Doctor's scrubs are "green"

The reason why Doctor wears green or blue clothes during surgery is because if you look at red blood for a long time, you see a "green ghost image" when you look at something white. Doctor's clothes and other things around are made green to stop this from happening.

Was the stethoscope invented from a "children's game"?

Long ago, Doctor used to listen to sounds by putting an ear right against the patient's chest. But one day, a French Doctor saw children playing by listening to sounds through both ends of a piece of wood. It is said that Doctor rolled paper into a tube and used it, which was the start of the stethoscope!

The secret of Doctor's "snake" mark

You might see a mark with a snake wrapped around a staff at hospitals or on ambulances. This is the staff held by "Asclepius," the god of medicine in Greek myths. Snakes shed their skin and are born again, so they are seen as a symbol of "health" and "rebirth."
