Remember that post about how healthcare workers can’t wear costumes on Halloween bc they might have to do something serious in a silly costume?
I boldly thought to myself, that doesn’t apply to child life because we’re there to normalize the environment for kids and support their coping!
… and then last night I supported a teenage trauma patient in a room full of serious people in scrubs wearing a 3d foam hotdog costume. It was awkward. Oopsies!
