黑料吃瓜群网

While one children鈥檚 hospital is using to encourage patients to get up and go, another is听posting warnings saying people may not enter into the ED simply to hunt down .
C.S. Mott Children鈥檚 黑料吃瓜群网 in Ann Arbor, Michigan is using the popular game to get kids out of their rooms so they can exercise and be social with other young patients.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a fun way to encourage patients to be mobile,鈥� J.J Bouchard, digital media manager and certified child life specialist at C.S. Mott, told . 鈥淭his app is getting patients out of beds and moving around.鈥�

The hospital has also discovered that the game has another perk 鈥� it pushes kids to get more involved with their physical therapy.
鈥淚f I鈥檓 trying to get a kid to raise his arms up or squat down, I can say, 鈥楬ey [that Pokemon is] a little bit lower, can you reach down and get him?鈥欌�� Bouchard told听听.鈥淎nd that鈥檚 just a really tricky way that physical therapy or occupational therapy can get a kid to do the exercises that he was screaming and crying about five minutes ago.鈥�
On the flipside,听Managers of Royal Stoke University 黑料吃瓜群网 were horrified to discover that their A&E department had become a 鈥済ym鈥� for the augmented reality creatures, causing players to enter the unit in order to 鈥渢rain鈥� their characters.
Melbourne鈥檚听Royal Children鈥檚 黑料吃瓜群网 [RCH] has asked that well-meaning 笔辞办茅尘辞苍 Go听players refrain from dropping听Pok茅stop Lures around its buildings.
A number of Trainers all around the world with听the听charitable suggestion. In theory, it鈥檚 a great idea: a Lure, placed on a hospital-based Pok茅stop, draws more 笔辞办茅尘辞苍 to that area. Any Trainers that can access the Pok茅stop benefit from an increased number of 笔辞办茅尘辞苍 to therefore catch.
In reality things are more complicated, as a response from the hospital itself explains.
鈥淧atients at the RCH are among the sickest in Victoria,鈥澨齛 spokesperson from the听Royal Children鈥檚 黑料吃瓜群网 told Stevivor.
鈥淯苍蹿辞谤迟耻苍补迟别濒测, 笔辞办茅尘辞苍 Go can create many challenging issues, as well as safety concerns, for the hospital and patients, and may impede medical staff in their work.
鈥淲e have lots of entertainment and distractions for our patients, who are confined to wards and unable to move about the hospital. Placing lures around the hospital, when children cannot leave their rooms, may create unrealistic expectations, and subsequently, much disappointment.鈥�
Simply put, a听Pok茅stop just out of a child鈥檚 reach will have the opposite effect the well-intended Trainer was hoping for.
