Oh, dude, Aunt Polly let Dr. Chilton examine Pollyanna because she wanted to make sure her niece was healthy and all that jazz. Plus, Aunt Polly probably figured it was a good idea to let a doctor check on Pollyanna, you know, just to be on the safe side. Like, better safe than sorry, am I right?

Why was Pollyanna's Aunt Polly mean to her?
Aunt Polly had a mean father, and she took after him. She never had the responsibility of raising children - she chose the attic for a bedroom because she wasn't used to children's noises around the house! The only "nice" thing she did was buy Pollyanna a new wardrobe. Thankfully, after Pollyanna's accident, she saw the error of her ways and changed.
What game did Pollyanna play?
Pollyanna played "the glad game", where the 'player' always looked for something to be glad of - in any situation. It started when, as the daughter of a poor missionary, she found that the only thing suitable for a child in the mission barrel was a pair of tiny crutches, when she had really been hoping to find a doll. To ease her disappointment, her father taught her to look for something to be glad about re: the crutches (ie, that she didn't NEED them). After her father's death (her mother had already passed away) Pollyanna is sent to live with her wealthy but stern Aunt Polly. Pollyanna wins over many of the towns folk with her vivacious personality and youthful optimism. She then proceeds to teach others in the town to play "the glad game". A beautiful concept and a wonderful series of books for all young girls. Make sure they have a box of tissues handy, though!
