Hello, Dr. Baker. We're the Treehouse Detectives. 00:00:00
Hi. Hey, I read your email about Jacob. How can I help you? 00:00:03
We're trying to figure out how to stay healthy in different environments. 00:00:07
We were wondering if you could tell us what it's like to work in space. 00:00:10
Isn't it tough working in such a small place? 00:00:13
The space station is actually quite big, and it's quite easy to work here. 00:00:16
You'd be amazed at how roomy it is. It's like a laboratory on Earth. 00:00:20
The space shuttle is a lot smaller, and it has some challenges, 00:00:23
but actually it's quite easy, even with six or seven other crew members, to get your work done. 00:00:28
Have you ever been sick during a space shuttle mission? 00:00:33
Actually, I've been very lucky. I haven't. 00:00:36
But it's quite common the first couple of days for astronauts to feel a little bit sick, 00:00:38
very much like seasickness, but for the most part, people are pretty healthy in space. 00:00:43
We go into space healthy, and we try and stay healthy when we get there 00:00:47
by getting a lot of rest and exercising and eating good food. 00:00:51
Diet, exercise and proper rest seem to be important to good health in every environment. 00:00:55
What happens if someone does get sick in space? 00:01:00
We're prepared for all sorts of things. 00:01:03
We carry a first aid kit that has a lot of medical material in it, pills and bandages, things like that. 00:01:05
We also are able to talk to a doctor on the ground any time we need to. 00:01:14
What if the illness or injury is really serious? 00:01:18
If somebody got very sick, like somebody had a heart attack or needed surgery, 00:01:21
we would have to return them to Earth to have the proper medical procedure done. 00:01:25
Do you have to have special medical training to go into space? 00:01:29
Well, actually, we always train at least two crew members in medical procedures, 00:01:32
so even the pilot, who might be the chief medical officer, 00:01:36
would know how to put stitches in if that became necessary or give injections or place a bandage 00:01:40
or even stabilize a fractured bone if something like that happened. 00:01:47
Is it more difficult to treat patients in space? 00:01:51
Well, the simple things are still simple. 00:01:54
Drawing blood or giving a shot, putting a bandage or a band-aid on, 00:01:56
even taking medications are fairly simple. 00:02:00
We don't know about other medical procedures, for example, performing surgery, 00:02:03
and that is something that we'll have to learn about if we ever expect maybe to go back to the Moon or to go to Mars. 00:02:07
What happens to the body during spaceflight? 00:02:12
Well, there's lots of things that happen to the body. 00:02:15
I like to think that it's the body's normal reaction to an unusual environment. 00:02:17
The fluids in your body shift around, your face gets a little puffy, your heartbeat changes a little bit, 00:02:21
but really you feel quite normal, very much the way you do on Earth. 00:02:28
Thanks, Dr. Baker. 00:02:32
Well, you're quite welcome, and tell Jacob to stay away from the junk food. 00:02:33
