In The Implantables, Gwendolyn Brown, a Registered Nurse, creates a captivating story that turns a medical procedure into an imaginative adventure for kids. The story centers on Mom Mom, a lively grandmother who suddenly struggles with knee problems caused by the troublesome Evil Arthur-itis. To help her, a trio of heroic knee 'activists'-Femur, Tibia, and Patella, known as Fem, Tib, and Pat-come to life from the Body Parts Institution. These characters represent the elements of a knee replacement and set out on a mission to make Mom Mom's knee better. The tale blends medical facts with fantasy, explaining surgical procedures to children, ending with a successful surgery and the joy of returning to everyday fun with her grandchildren.
