Going to the doctor
isn't so bad when your favorite
stuffed animal can come along,
even if it is almost life sized,
such as Eli Jackson's Mickey
Mouse, pictured right. Eli had
Mickey checked for an ear
infection at MUSC Children's
After Hours Care during the Oct.
29 Teddy Bear Clinic. More than
30 children brought in their
favorite animals to see the
doctor. Children and their
favorite plush animals received
a doctor's exam and left
with a prescription to read to
their toy before bed. The clinic
staff is pediatric trained and
sees patients from birth until
age 18. Located in North
Charleston on Highway 78 (near
Charleston Southern University,
right behind Zaxby's), the
clinic is open 4 until 10 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, and from
noon until 7 p.m. on Saturday,
Sunday and holidays.
