Nothing can take away the pain and anguish of a little child, or a spouse, or parent,
laying in a hospital bed, suffering from a life-threatening illness. |
|
|
|
 But a song, a dance, a clown, art work, or a
theater act can take their mind far away, to a time when they knew how to laugh and sing. |
|
|
|
The Arts in Medicine program at Shands Hospital in Gainesville, Florida tries to
"bring the arts to the bedside," and it's the largest effort of its kind in the
country. |
|
|
|
 In Color My World: The Arts in Medicine we
see artists and volunteers and doctors and nurses at Shands Hospital as they paint, sing,
dance and act with patients, creating a bond that strives to overcome the numbing effects
of physical pain.
