Here’s an ultra-short (about 18 seconds) medical humor video where we explore what it would be like if the Quinton catheter were a Clinton catheter instead. Sounds silly, but you might like what he has to say.
Of course, he denies everything…
Fine, but how do you explain this drape, Sir?
With the way reimbursement is going and the trend with lots of physician practices being consumed by local health systems, it’s only a matter of time until some of the remaining outliers find creative ways to keep their practices afloat… like say, this guy… Check out this funny “joint” venture comic.
For you opportunists out there, this might be a good time to open a snack shop next to your practice. Maybe you could work some sort of Medical Marijuana Munchies Combo Deal.

As healthcare reimbursement plummets, as malpractice lawyers gain more air time, and as the healthcare industry becomes hyper-regulated, it should come as no surprise that we may need to make our profession a little more interesting and even fun, to get qualified applicants. Medical education, nursing schools, and science classes may need to insert more humor into our education.

He’s is the coolest parasite ever… hands down.
OK… Here’s a funny take on pharma marketing with a fake commercial video about a combination drug from “Eli Willy”. Check out the hilarious tag line:
Asplavadin – If you’re not bleeding from somewhere, you should probably take another.
This was sent in by a colleague. Comment here or go to his YouTube Channel and comment there (and tell him to make more videos) :)

This is what you get when someone who is poor at taking histories meets a poor historian. Funnies from the medical record.
Personally, I like the part about the chest pain being in his elbow.

Saw this sign in a hospital hallway, just outside the ER.
Demerol-Free Zone… not to be confused with Free Demerol Zone.
Naturally, I turned around and left.
Medical educators update their materials to mirror the familiar educational videos of childhood for the current student:
Nothing like a little prostate humor to brighten your day, huh? (Well, not little prostate… more like “some humor about enlarged prostates.”)
For the most part, GiggleMed.com has remained largely free of advertisements and commercials. But every once in a while, we come across a commercial that is funny and related to healthcare. This one was posted by Dr. Wade Grindle in our Medical Humor Community.
Well check out this Spanner commercial. (We have no relationship with this company and we have no personal experience the device… we just think their commercial is funny).
Anyway, check it out.

I saw this Basic Life Support Manual on a student’s desk.
I thought it was funny when 3 or 4 people stood around trying to decipher the graphic on the cover. I’m just hoping this guy was a drowning victim or someone with severe trauma… either way, not the best graphic to use for students.
