I want to be her when I grow up. Can she run a teddy bear med school please.

From pet attacks, to missing parts, to just too much loving, there’s almost no stuffie that highly experienced seamstress Ruth Hasman can’t fix. She runs a hospital and spa for stuffed toys out of her Vancouver home. She is also training another worker to take over Teddy Bear Doctor duties when she no longer has sufficient hand dexterity. 🥹😭

The only memory I have from before I was five was being wheeled down a hospital corridor on a gurney, with my teddy bear, Billy.

His ear had become detached.

When I woke up from surgery, we had both been successfully repaired.

It is so vivid, the drab green paint, the smell of chloroform and disinfectant.

These things are so important to kids.
