Dr Robert Parry, Ohio pediatric surgeon, draws cartoons on kids’ bandages after surgery

Dr. Robert Parry, a pediatric surgeon at Akron Children's Hospital in Ohio, uses his artistic talent to brighten the post-surgery experience for children. After surgery, Parry often draws personalized cartoons on the surgical bandages of his young patients. His creations range from popular characters like Snoopy, SpongeBob, and superheroes, to animals, cars, sports designs, and even a hand-drawn Lamborghini.

The drawings typically take only a few minutes and are based on what the children requested during consultations. Parry's drawings have been a source of comfort and delight for many families, who have saved the artwork or placed it in scrapbooks as mementos of their child's resilience and the extra care provided by their surgeon.
