Medical Bloopers: Amusing and Amazing Stories of Health Care Workers

With a foreword by Dr. Neil Shulman, author of "Doc Hollywood", MEDICAL BLOOPERS!! is a collection of real-life, often unbelievable, occurrences in medicine. Some are funny; some, just...amazing. Sensitively written (and a bit non-pc), MEDICAL BLOOPERS!! focuses not on the patient's infirmity, but on the health care worker's contained emotions when facing unusual circumstances. Stories include an escaped convict pretending to be an organ donor and tales of money, potatoes and crystal balls being found in the most unexpected body orifices. In this time of health care tumult, stress and confusion, laughter is the best medicine; a dose of humor is good for what ails you and physicians (along with others) can heal themselves. Great gift for the doctors, nurses and health workers in your life and for those just curious about the lighter side of the serious world of medicine. Comic illustrations and definitions included.
