CINCINNATI -– Children who have appointments at Children's Hospital Medical Center of Cincinnati's Pediatric Primary Care Center tomorrow afternoon will have an opportunity to be doctors and nurses from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the annual Teddy Bear Clinic.
Doctors, nurses and other care givers will staff medical play stations, where children will take a teddy bear's blood pressure, check heart rates, measure height and weight, and test vision.
