“I
am very pleased to have the opportunity to use ‘Andy’
(our MediKin™ teaching aide) to enhance patient teaching.
Andy helped me explain to a young mother what spina bifida is and
how the shunt works. I used the MediKin™ to demonstrate the
baby's
anatomy more clearly
than drawings in books
or verbal descriptions
can do. She was very
attentive, and, using the MediKin™, explained what she had
learned.”

“I
have been the caretaker for a MediKin™ who has spina
bifida for the past three years. It has quickly become a central
focus of our myelomeningocele team. This teaching aide has
proved invaluable in prenatal counseling. Expectant parents
are often overwhelmed with the news…The MediKin™
makes the anticipated disabilities real to the degree they
can be visualized (and not just imagined); and, therefore,
less frightening.”
