| (Smithsonian Teddy) |
This
rough-and-ready hero was expected to
gun the bear down. He refused to engage in
such an unfair fight. In Theodore’s honor,
ursine
replicas are now called “teddy bears.”
What
Roosevelt did not anticipate is that his namesake would one day be hanging from
IV poles. Invented by 12-year-old Ella
Casano and her family, Medi Teddy doubles
as a holder for the IV bag. His cuddly
presence soothes children during intimidating
treatments.
