Dr Catherine Bell, a GP who regularly watches the cuddly character&#039;s TV exploits with her toddler, believes the Pig family&#039;s inappropriate use of the doctor are copied by their fans. The family&#039;s GP in the animation series, Dr Brown Bear, provides the Pigs with unparalleled medical help. Dr Bell says her cartoon equivalent&#039;s work fuels unrealistic expectations. \"He has big demand from patients but provides them with a really good service,\" she told the BBC. Ban Peppa? The usual advice for uncomplicated self-limiting illnesses such as coughs and colds is to stay at home and not see a doctor, while drinking plenty of fluids. But Peppa and family receive home visits from Dr Brown Bear for the slightest of conditions. And if Dr Bell was given the chance to write the script for one episode, contact with Dr Brown Bear would be unlikely to occur. \"If the topic was health-related, I would be encouraging self-care for minor illnesses rather than another visit to Dr Brown ,\" said the Sheffield GP. Dr Bell, who has written a BMJ article on the topic, is not the only person to think Peppa&#039;s constant trips to the surgery have an impact in real life. She posted the idea on a Facebook group for doctors who are also mothers and lots of people said they could identify with her views.
