This is too sweet.

At this California hospital, pediatric patients can enter their surgery rooms in style

Doctors Medical Center in Modesto, California, recently acquired a miniature pink Volkswagen Beetle and a black Mercedes for kids heading into surgery. The goal is to help reduce the stress and anxiety for the young patients, which makes the experience “less scary” for everyone involved. Both cars also have working headlights, backup lights, and dash lights. The doors open and close, the seatbelts perform their function, and of course — there’s a horn in each car. Anyone who stands in the way of these kids driving themselves to surgery better move it or lose it! The cars are for patients ages two to seven.The idea of adding these cars to the pediatric unit of Doctors Medical Center was brought forth by Kimberly Martinez, a pre-op nurse.
