While many Indian joke books are jokes themselves, this book avoids the pitfalls by its professional approach towards compilation, rewriting and editing. The book comprises the world's best adult medical jokes, quips, quotes and humour. Bold and bawdy lines that don't make it between the covers of joke books in India make an appearance here. Unlike many joke books that are a start-to-finish affair without categorisation, this book is divided into 21 chapters that facilitate easy reading. The chapters include: Nurses, Surgeons, Gynaecologists, Sex Therapists, Viagra, AIDS, Veterinarians, Optometrists, Limericks, Wisecracks and a Medical Glossary, amongst others. This book is not meant for those whose sensibilities are easily hurt or people with an ill-developed sense of humour. But for those who love non-vegetarian fare of medical humour, this book is just what the doctor prescribed! #v&spublishers

"What is your pain level on a scale of 1 to 10, where zero would be no pain, and 10 would be if you had an attack of kidney stones while in active labor, and while all that was going on, you were set on fire. Starting with your genitals. And then you were disemboweled, and the bowels that were removed were then also set on fire. And then while you were running around in active labor, passing a kidney stone, on fire with your bowels also on fire, you accidentally stepped on a Lego with your bare foot. And that Lego was also on fire." "It's an 11." Medicine can be funny. It can be sad, painful, inspirational, but also sometimes funny. "11 out of 10" is a collection of humorous medical stories from practitioners in all fields, ranging from physicians to nurses to EMTs to medical students. Some are totally true, some are exaggerated, and some are mostly fiction. But every single one of them aims to put a smile on your face. All profits from this book will be donated to Deworm the World Initiative, a charity that aims to treat parasitic infections in children in developing nations.

Recent evidence indicates that humor is an important aspect of a person's health, and studies have shown that increased levels of humor help with stress, pain tolerance, and overall patient health outcomes. Still, many healthcare providers are hesitant to use humor in their practice for fear of offense or failure. Understanding more of how and why humor works as well as some of the issues related to real-world examples is essential to help practitioners be more successful in their use and understanding of humor in medical care. Through case studies and real-world applications of therapeutic humor, the field can be better understood and advanced for best practices and uses of this type of therapy. With this growing area of interest, research on humor in a patient care setting must be discussed. Cases on Applied and Therapeutic Humor focuses on humor in medical care and will discuss issues in humor research, assessment of the effectiveness of humor in medical settings, and examples of medical care in specific health settings. The chapters will explore how propriety, effectiveness, perception, and cultural variables play a role in using humor as therapy and will also provide practical case studies from medical/healthcare professionals in which they personally employed humor in medical practice. This book is ideal for medical students, therapists, researchers interested in health, humor, and medical care; healthcare professionals; humor researchers; along with practitioners, academicians, and students looking for a deeper understanding of the role humor can play as well as guidance as to the effective and meaningful use of humor in medical/healthcare settings.

Laughter, wisdom, and joy radiate from patient to reader in John J. Leeson, MD's inspiring new books, Patient Quotes: The Medical Humor Book Series.With thousands of quotes that cover a range of different topics including medications, pediatrics, cancer and mental health, PATIENT QUOTES reveal the unique ways the patients administer to the doctors the best medicine of all--laughter. These books are a unique compilation of remarkable statements made by ordinary people receiving medical care. These are the only works to specifically showcase the patients' side of the humor in healthcare. There is an unmet need for humor and inspiration as therapy in most patients. Also, there is under-appreciated humor in many others. PATIENT QUOTES is designed to connect these two important issues. The messages these books contain help people cope and feel more at ease with difficult health issues. Also, after reading them, healthcare workers report a renewed appreciation for the patients' perspective and motivation to help them in new ways. So the cycle of humor continues. Proving the value of the material in these books, an alternate title could very well be HOW THE PATIENTS SAVED THE DOCTR: Reversing The Roles--When The Doctor Is The Patient. That is the inside story about how these books were started. The doctor realized how much better he felt when his patients made him laugh--they made him laugh his way to recovery from the tragic death of his daughter. The first volume contains over 600 exceptional quotes divided into chapters by medical topics that are common challenges people face such as diabetes, weight gain, habits, and aging. It is full of quotes that are humorous, insightful and profound. They serve as self-help tips to keep you smiling and strong when dealing with difficult health issues. Volume 2 has over 1300 quotes including important chapters such as: How did That Happen?, Surgery, Cancer and You Might Have Mental Illness If . . . .They are arranged in an order that shares with the reader an emotional roller coaster experienced by the people involved. They prove that you have never heard it all. The patient in pain will show you how to find joy. Someone in crisis will remind you about faith, and a person facing death will teach you how to live. Volume 3 is also unique with 1100 quotes. It features chapters containing quotes from famous people who had to be patients, doctor and nurse quotes, and amazing conversations in healthcare. It is LOL reality entertainment as people get hilarious (when they need) to change their minds using humor as a healthy defense mechanism. Laughter is the contagious medicine.--John Lassegard, MD

"Who knew doctors could be flat-out funny? In fact, who knew they were so smart? For several decades, the last page of Diversion, the leisure magazine for physicians, held a monthly contest for doctors. Their best is offered in this volume. Could Julius Caesar have been an orthopedist (I came, I saw (ed), I conquered”)? Would our litigious society cause MDs to experience flashes of barristopratfallophilia? When utilization review comes to Washington, one physician envisions government posts such as Joint Sheaves of Chaff. Might a sports team be known as The Heimlichs (they never choke under pressure), or The Sphincters (Nothing gets by them, and they have the best tight end in the business.) Another posits that a GI series is a military baseball competition. And somewhere in this great country there is – or certainly should be – a podiatrist named Mehta Tarsal. The surface has just been abraded.

Offering a social scientific look at humor's role in medical transactions, this volume is based on extensive field study in seven medical settings. It includes excerpts from dozens of actual conversations between patients and caregivers. Analysis of these episodes reveals that humor is a practical tool used to meet many medical objectives. It is used by patients to good-naturedly complain and to campaign for more personal attention, and by caregivers to get attention, make amends, insist on unpleasant routines, and establish rapport. Examining humor from many angles, the book begins with a phenomenological analysis of the essence of funny. This section describes what makes some things funny but not others, and how to distinguish between potentially funny and unfunny episodes in medical situations. From an ethnographic perspective, joking around is shown to be a persuasive element of medical culture. Examples illustrate how patients and caregivers use humor to negotiate the dialectics between helping and hurting, and individuality and compliance. Additionally, a close-up look at three medical transactions shows how humor is used to help a physical therapy patient overcome fear and queasiness, reduce the embarrassment of a mammography, and defuse a potential conflict between a student aide and a young patient. A final section examines techniques for initiating conversational humor. In sum, this volume provides an intimate and realistic look at medical conversations as they are conducted every day. It serves as a valuable complement to health communication texts and offers information of interest to health communication scholars, healthcare practitioners, and anyone interested in the effects and techniques of conversational humor. Richly grounded in naturally occurring data, the book can be understood and used effectively by both scholars and practitioners.

This hilarious book offers over thirteen hundred short quotations and anecdotes to help you laugh your way to recovery. This volume of the unique collection of remarkable statements made by ordinary people in medical settings was compiled by John J. Leeson, MD, specifically to showcase the patient side of humor in health care. The series was launched after the doctor realized how much better he felt when his patients made him laugh, something he needed as he worked through grief following the tragic death of his daughter. Leeson saw multiple benefits from these quotes: Not only are they therapeutic for other patients in similar situations, but also they assist medical professionals as they seek to better understand their patients' perspectives. Covering topics ranging from pain and medications to pediatrics, aging, surgery, cancer, and death, the chapters in this book are arranged in an order that conveys the emotional rollercoaster of the people involved. Most importantly, the book highlights the true power of humor as medicine. The patient in pain will show you how to find joy. Someone in crisis will remind you about faith. And a person facing death will teach you how to live.
