If I were an insurance company… I’d be pissed.
OK. You might think this is cheesy. But I’m going to issue a blatant free bribe… Here it goes: I will give you the funny report/download 25 Things You Never Want To Hear During a Disimpaction if you just tell me one of two things…
1 – Give me feedback on the GiggleMed sites – good or bad – just tell me what you think.
or
2 – Tell me a funny healthcare story… anything that happened to you or a colleague.
That’s it. Not too bad, huh? I mean, does it get any better than this? You tell me how much you love my stuff and I send you a free disimpaction manual. Even though I’m totally deceiving you with the picture having a spiral bound manual, you still know this is a sweet deal. So hop to it. Laughter is the best laxative (that’s how it goes, right?).
Before getting to this comic… I have to just take a moment and say THANK YOU. The feedback all of you have been sending in has been overwhelming. It is truly appreciated and it is that kind of stuff that keeps us going :) In case you want to let us know how you feel about our sites, here’s the link again: Tell Us How You Feel and Get A Free Gift…
Anyway, it’s time for another flatus hiatus…
You’ve come to know Chart Fart Art™ by now, I’m sure. We take a medical malapropism from the Chart Farts® collection and make it into a comic. Here’s the latest…
If I were an insurance company… I’d be pissed.
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.
Back in 2013, I attended 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.

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.
