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.
Hilarious video… the only thing missing is a catchy trade name. With a short, simple & catchy trade name Big Pharma make it easy for us (and patients) to remember the trade name, but never the generic (Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin).
I like the fact that Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin can be taken in multiple routes. I’ve always wondered about some sort of mega-suppository… we could call it the “Protocol Pellet”. Every discipline and hospital service line could have its own per-rectal bolus of meds – psych, ortho, open heart, CHF, etc.
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.
Interesting Video… Got McBurger Hut?:
You might wonder what in the world this has to do with medical humor… but it’s too darn cute not to include.
Besides, if you think about it… toilets, kids, family meetings, death… all medically related…
I just posted a new Chart Farts® video on YouTube…
It has all of the usual (hilarious) samples from the Chart Farts® collection… but this one has a twist at the end that will cause a small subset of you will wet yourself when you see it. The rest of you will just wonder… WTF? (hint: you have to be older than 30 to get it… or have some weird fascination with watching re-runs of old, 1980s sitcoms)
In any case, the Joint Commission won’t like it…
But hey, I laugh at doctor jokes… nurses laugh at nurse jokes…
(: medicine is fun again :)
Watch this hilarious prostate surgery parody video where Medical Humor’s tough guy, Tony Below-Knee, starts to wuss out. Centers all over the country have had great success with robotic surgery. But you can’t tell Tony that…
Medical humor comes in all forms. And we love most of it… but the funniest of all medical humor seems to be that stuff that is real, and at the same time embarrassing, yet harmless. Chart Farts® are just that…
Medical malapropisms that were really put on charts or said by health practitioners or patients… And with the exception of an occasional reader becoming incontinent, no one was hurt by the error.
Here’s Chart Farts ® Issue #2 posted on YouTube…
There are many ways for you to enjoy Chart Farts®
I don’t eat there often, but this most recent trip to McDonalds with my family was not without humor. My wife came prepared with green leafy vegetables and tomatoes… and me?… well I came prepared with a Flip Mino HD video camera and some pens.
Here’s the result…
Tony Below-Knee is a GiggleMed character whose name is derived from the GiggleMed authors’ favorite medical chart malapropism (chart fart)… “Baloney amputation”. Tony Below-Knee is a puppet made from a sock. His name is “Tony”, thus the voice.
Medical malapropisms are bloopers of medical jargon. We call them Chart Farts ® – a term GiggleMed coined to capture the way a malapropism can punctuate a serious moment in healthcare. When doctors or nurses are taking a history, when reading through the medical record, and even when professionals are discussing their work. We all make mistakes, but sometimes (even in normally serious times) these medical errors can be quite funny. We have recorded thousands of them. All real stuff, all real charts.
Here’s an introduction to Chart Farts ® we posted on YouTube…
