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.

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…

Another hilarious healthcare music parody video from our friends, the Laryngospasms.

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.

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:

Does the threat of a Joint Commission visit have your organization in a panic? Well, don’t worry… just check in with GiggleMed.com’s TJC Accredit-8-Ball™. Click and briefly hold the mouse down to give the ball a good roll. The Accredit-8-Ball™ will give you an idea of where your organization stands with Joint Commission.

Find out now… just give it a click (you need Flash to be able to see this doo-hickey).

By the way, we have more Joint Commission humor at JCAHO fun.com. And, of course, a bunch of funny Joint Commission medical humor gifts at our store… Use coupon code “WAFFLEMUSTER” during November to get $5 off of your order.

DISCLAIMER: This site has no formal association with the Joint Commission. Your use of the Accredit-8-Ball™ in no way predicts success or failure with your Joint Commission surveys. Actually, trusting the results of the Accredit-8-Ball™ is highly associated with loss of accreditation.

Healthcare reform starts with a smile. Let’s give one of these bad boys to all of the nurse managers, hospital administrators, and new medicine and surgery interns:

Can we do this with Foleys?

I sincerely believe that we can make education fun for patients and for medical professionals to improve learning and compliance. Nursing competencies, docs adhering to hospital policies, students retaining medical knowledge, and patients taking their meds… Let’s make all of that stuff fun. GiggleMed.com will be releasing an ultra-fun medical humor book about infection in the next couple of weeks.

If you have an idea to make learning new behaviors fun, check out Fun Theory… They have a contest open until December 15th.

Funny stuff from GiggleMed’s medical comics series - Doctors of Destiny.

We all know some people who begin to look like their pets, or couples who begin to look like each other as they get older. Well, we’ve posed the question, “What if doctors began to resemble their very own area of expertise.”

Check out those tufts of hair… and that RCA on his nose. Man… I just wanna stent that thing… don’t you.

Here’s a link to the other Doctors of Destiny Comics up to this point… More funny medical comics coming your way.

Our friend Doug is bringing up the bass in this Laryngospasms classic… Breathe

Your favorite songs will never be the same… never.

If you don’t have the Laryngospasms’ CDs, you’re missing out. And if you’re planning an event for the healthcare community, you should invite them for a live performance. Go to their site here: Laryngospasms.
