Just got back from the TEDMED conference where I was happy to see a ZDoggMD song at the Kennedy Center Opera House. They showed his hilarious educational video about self-examination for testicular cancer – Manhood in the Mirror.

Personally, I don’t have the guts to try this… But could you imagine the look on the Joint Commissioner’s face if they walked into the break room and saw this lunch cooler from ThinkGeek on the table?
…Priceless, me thinks.
This would make an awesome gift for Doctor’s Day, Nurse’s Week, or graduation from medical school, nursing school, or EMT training.

Before we needed healthcare reform… before Joint Commission (you know, the Good Ole Days)… before the FDA… before insurance companies… there was one physician to lead us through the healthcare jungle – Tarzan, M.D. (and soon to be introduced, Jane DO). In Episode 2, we find him offering smoking cessation advice. Those twigs kinda smell funny, give the patient the munchies, and do wonders for his glaucoma.

Feel free to use Tarzan MD images in your talks and presentations (as long as you include the attribution to GiggleMed.com). Just right click on the image & choose “Save As…”. And if you like them enough to use them in your talks, well, then why not buy some Tarzan MD gifts:
Before Joint Commission… before the FDA… before insurance companies… there was one physician to lead us through the healthcare jungle – Tarzan, M.D. Way ahead of his time, Dr. Tarzan’s descriptions of clinical findings were in the patients’ language. His instructions were persuasive. And his patients could eat all of the fat and red meat they wanted. (And in future episodes, when he meets Jane, D.O. we find a healthcare infrastructure in complete harmony – free of egos and politics.)
Here’s a novel idea…
Why don’t you try to reduce hospital acquired infections with campaigns that actually work?
Too often, hospitals and healthcare organizations just pump out generic posters, corny phrases on stickers, and plant some “champions” among us to try to motivate us. But generic messages only add to the Sign Fatigue we all experience. (Kind of like those annoying banner ads on web pages. After a while, we don’t even see them anymore.) Plus, we’re always a little cautious… can’t be too racey… can’t be too controversial… don’t wanna rock the boat… what would marketing say? or worse, what would legal say?
Well, sometimes you just have to say, “WTF?” (Why The Foley?)

More ideas for infection control:
Very funny video from a patient’s perspective on an emergency room visit. Comedian Brian Regan tackles triage, the pain scale, opiates, & the pain of childbirth.
The pain scale riff is awesome… (so run and tell that, JCAHO.)
By the way, check out the GiggleMed pain scale humor in the medical humor store.
Medical humor can sometimes tick people off, even if it rings true. Take this funny pay for performance commentary on the state of nephrology, for example…

Typhoid Mary, we miss you. Well, not really… we just miss the fact that there was only one of you. These days we have a whole fleet. (And no, I’m not talkin’ enema, here. I’m not sure why GiggleMed readers always revert to middle school humor, but c’mon… I’m trying to be serious here.) If you thought Typhoid Mary had issues, check out C. diff Clarice.
It’s time to spice up your infection control campaign with humor. One of two things is happening for you: (A) Your hand washing numbers are still in the toilet, or (B) You are having awesome success. If your numbers are in the toilet, what you’re trying isn’t working. Try humor. And if your numbers are awesome, it undoubtedly came with some effort – so show a little appreciation to the people in the trenches.
In short, show them this:
