(Describer) Title: Meet the Helpers
Hi. My name is Dr. Carr, and I am a helper. I am very proud of my job because I get to help you feel better. I am a doctor. I work at a hospital. People visit the hospital for many different reasons, but most need help because they are sick or injured. I like my job because I get to help people heal. Doctors help patients understand why they aren't feeling well and create a plan to get better. Doctors like me are important helpers at the hospital, but we aren't the only ones. There are nurses, technicians, and many others that help, too.
