What tools do doctors use?

Doctors use tools to help them see inside your body and fix what’s wrong, just like you might use a flashlight to look under the couch for toys.

Tools are like helpers that make the job easier.

Some doctors use tools called stethoscopes, which are like special listening tubes. They put one end on your chest and listen to your heart or lungs, it’s like having a super ear!

Other doctors use tools called scopes, which are tiny cameras that go inside your body. It's like watching a movie inside you, so they can see what's going on without making big cuts.

Doctors also use tools called scalpels to make small cuts and tools called forceps to grab tiny things, like picking up a piece of paper with tweezers. Sometimes they even use tools called needles to give you medicine or take out something that doesn’t belong.

All these tools help doctors do their job, just like your favorite toys help you have fun!
