Jonny’s mum – who is an anaesthetist – came to talk to the Beavers about her job. Sandy dressed in the clothes that she would use in the operating theatre and she then explained the various ways of administering an anaesthetic. The heart rate of one of the Beavers was taken and then
he ran around the room and this showed how his heart rate had increased with exercise. The beavers were then shown how to use a stethoscope and were able to listen to each other’s heart beat. The Beavers were exceptionally well behaved and enjoyed learning new things.
Many thanks to Jonny’s mum for coming along to show us aspects of her job.
