EHR Use Skyrockets With Use of Healthcare Super Heroes?

Posted by Dun Tzu on the March 22nd, 2010

EHR Use Skyrockets With the Use of Memorable Heroes of Healthcare

You want real healthcare reform? How about making subjects like anatomy, physiology, hematology, and pharmacology fun and memorable?… like this EHR did with the first in a line of Healthcare Heroes.

Do you realize how easy it is to remember what Basophil Man does? I mean… all you have to do is remember his super powers and kablammo… you remember the physiology.

And it’s cake to remember the battles of Lymph Man and Atypical Lymph Man… Atypical Lymph Man is like the Bizarro of the Healthcare Industry.

And, how conscious would we all be of infection if hospital gowns included Band Man Under-roos for anyone with a Foley or a central line?

Healthcare Professional Hypochondriasis Exacerbated By “Cute” Doodles

Posted by Dun Tzu on the March 10th, 2010

So… my daughter has a very cute habit of drawing pictures and leaving them on my desk for when I get home. Very cute… until lately… when I started to see all of the medical disorders these renditions of Daddy had embedded in them.

Like this one (above)… It’s cute… it’s funny… until you see that (a) I’m obese, (b) I have a DVT, (c) I have a right facial droop, (d) probable sleep apnea, and (e) a frozen shoulder. Oh… and I probably have gas.

Yeesh… kids these days. I blame the internet.

Infectious Disease Jokes – A Virus Walks Into A Bar

Posted by Dun Tzu on the December 12th, 2009

Science humor and infectious disease jokes… for some of these you’ll just groan. For others, if you laugh at them, you are never permitted to refer to anyone else as a “geek” or a “nerd” again. And if you like this video, you’ll love GiggleMed’s new book, “Bugs on Scrubs” – a great holiday gift for geeks like you – especially if they work in healthcare.

Not nearly as corny as some of the jokes above… Bugs on Scrubs is the new medical humor book about a knock-down, drag-out, open-up-a-can argument between a nurse and a doctor… It’s a great gift idea and it’s only 10 bucks. Get it now. Just click on this book:

Stool Humor – Melena Ball Gift Candies Smell Yummy

Posted by rsardonicus on the December 2nd, 2009

I mean… would you be offended?

Let’s say you bring in some candy to the office… I open up the nice, beautiful tin you brought it in, only to find this (see the picture below). So, I offer some to a friend… “Ed, would you like a melena ball?”

To your credit, though… they smell just fine… uh… certainly as fine as a melena ball could smell.

Healthcare Humor 2.0 – Are You LinkedIn?

Posted by Dun Tzu on the November 25th, 2009

Funny video on social media… I like this one, because of all of the social media that I’m involved in, I see the least utility in LinkedIn. Since so many people in healthcare are on LinkedIn, I thought I’d share this with you…

Follow GiggleMed on Facebook for More Medical Humor

Posted by Dun Tzu on the November 21st, 2009

Medical Jokes and Humor on Facebook

Medical humor, jokes, chart farts, hospital bloopers, funny Facebook videos, and a boatload of funnies are yours on Facebook… just friend GiggleMed.

I’ve started to use Facebook a little more lately because it is easier to post longer jokes and funny stories there than on Twitter – and shorter stories and jokes than here, on this blog. Most of the time, I’ll put stuff on both, but sometimes the best medical humor spews forth when I’m commenting on someone else’s wall or Facebook post.

Don’t miss it. Send me a friend request.

Hospital Hallway Funnies – Medical Humor, But Not On Purpose

Posted by Dun Tzu on the November 12th, 2009

If you’re not following @GiggleMed on Twitter, you are missing out on a series of hilarious medical humor tweets – Hospital Hallway Funnies.

It all started with a committee meeting when I heard another physician say, “As far as I’m concerned, the doctors shouldn’t have to do anything.” I wrote that statement down and put it on my desk…

I have since collected hundreds of quotes… specifically, quotes heard in the hospital that, without context, could be quite humorous. Here’s a recent sample from my Twitter posts:

Medical Humor & Edutainment for H1N1 Awareness?

Posted by Dun Tzu on the September 27th, 2009

The appropriate use of medical humor could (and should) have an important role in medical education and public awareness. And although I do think everyone’s going a little overboard with their worries about H1N1, I applaud the effort of the United States Department of Health and Human Services in soliciting the public’s help in alerting the public on the importance of washing hands. The 2009 Flu Prevention PSA Contest had over 200 entries this month – some funny, some serious.

On September 22nd at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced the winner of the H1N1 Public Service Announcement Contest. Congratulations to Dr. Clarke of Baldwin, New York for his winning video H1N1 Rap. You can see his video here:

Dr. Clarke… if you’re reading this… First, great job on the video… Second, some advice… if you make a video for Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, then be sure to lose the hand gestures.

The top ten videos from the contest can be found at Flu.gov.

Also, check out Dr. John Clarke’s Health Hop® Music for some pretty awesome CDs for your patients and their families.

Funny Medical Education Video – Heart Rhythms and Dance

Posted by Dun Tzu on the August 15th, 2009

Medical education and humor… funny video where a German physician demonstrates cardiac rhythms through dance.

He’ll probably need to see ortho after those bundle branch blocks. Check it out.
