ABSTRACT:
A doll in which an illness symptom is created, a treatment is administered and in which the treatment removes the symptom. One symptom is a fever produced by closing a switch which heats the doll's forehead and moving a member near an orifice of the doll's body, the forehead temperature being recognizable by touch and the oral or other indication being detectable by a simulated thermometer. The treatment comprising insertion of a spoon or simulated pill to open the switch and restore the member. Measles (roseola) is simulated by closing a switch to illuminate translucent portions in the body, presenting the appearance of spots. Mumps is simulated by inflating portions of the cheeks and neck, treatment comprising moving a valve member to slowly deflate the portions. Tachycardia is produced by changing the speed of a motor which drives a heartbeat simulating device. Cough-like sound will be produced by recording devices.
The doll may also be provided with surgical incisions held closed by VELCRO; multipart arms to simulate fractures; internal balloons which set the fractures when inflated; casts for the limbs; indicator fluids visible at orifices; syringe apertures in the arm and an anaesthic mask, with the doll's eyes arranged to close an injection is given or as mask is fitted in place (a vocal response to anaesthic may also be arranged); or with magnetic misaligned eyeballs which becomes aligned when glasses are fitted in place.
