ABSTRACT:
A medical teaching doll is provided with devices for simulating the differences between normal organs, and organs which are physically altered by sickle cell or other disease. The devices simulate the normal and diseased conditions so that the differences can be clearly seen and/or felt. The doll is used to train parents to recognize the signs or symptoms of sickle cell disease so that they may seek medical care for their children before they become more acutely ill. The signs or symptoms which are simulated by the doll include change of color of eye sclera, enlargement of spleen, elevated temperature, labored breathing and/-or coughing, and change of color of skin.
