Dog patient, cat nurse: Chinese girl plays doctor giving corgi CT scan with cardboard machine made by father, delighting social media

On the family’s Douyin account are hundreds of videos of Momo playing doctor, carrying out operations such as a caesarean section on her corgi. Momo first encountered a CT scan machine last year during a medical check-up and asked if her parents could buy her one afterwards. — SCMP

A five-year-old girl in China playing doctor, giving a “medical check-up” to her pet dog “patient” with a cardboard CT scan machine, has amused mainland social media.

In a video taken at the girl’s home in eastern China’s Jiangsu province, the girl, identified as Momo, is dressed in a miniature white hospital gown and a nurse hat. She pushes a button on a toy panel while pretending her pet corgi moves on a “conveyor belt”, operated by her father off camera, into the toy CT machine, local youth news site k618.cn reported.
