Comedy And Treatment Go
Hand-in-Hand
Many healthcare processionals do not realize the importance of humor as part of the healing and recovery process. Laughter has been found to play many roles in the healing process, and can no longer be overlooked as an integral part of medicine. Most doctors and nurses do not know how to properly start using humor with their patients. Much of this comes from the concern that they will tell a joke at the wrong time or to the wrong patient.

Learn How To Tell Jokes, Right
Most books on using humor as part of caring for the sick focus on the value of jokes and laughter in the treatment and recovery process, but do not actually teach how to effectively use it. How To Tell Great Jokes allows any doctor or nurse to become well versed in the art of comedy, and many different types of jokes. You will learn how to read each patient to tell whether they will respond well to jokes, and if so what kind. Hilarious examples throughout the book give you a good feel for all the different genres of jokes on a variety of subjects.
The Verdict Is In: Laughter Heals
Studies over the past thirty years almost unanimously agree that laughter plays a key role in a patients treatment and recovery. Jokes have been found to help both the patient and the caregiver in a variety of ways:
- Well placed jokes ease the initial tension with a new
patient
and increase rapport. - Humor can relieve the fear and embarrassment that
stems from
the treatment of various illnesses and injuries. - Well placed jokes will distract a patient from pain,
allowing doctors
and nurses to more easily perform procedures on conscious subjects. - The light mood brought on by good jokes helps
patients stay in good
spirits throughout the recovery process, which speeds up their healing
and helps prevent common problems such as depression.
Humor Makes The Difference.
See For Yourself...
Consider this story a man relayed about his recent experience where humor distracted him, allowing doctors to treat him quickly and effectively, without hysterics:
|
"Recently I had surgery on my lipomas (tumors, Dercums). This is a recurring problem, and I usually get them cut out every two to three years when they start to press on nerves or shut off the blood flow in my arms or chest. This time I had waited six years, and scheduled with a friend who's a surgeon in Mexico City. I like talking with surgeons because it opens my mind to what's really happening in my body. My semi-hysterical wife, scared about the fact that I have frequent surgeries, and my in-laws, who are frightened that their precious daughter will be a widow soon, all accompanied me. Normally I would go to the doctor's office alone, a sort of personal journey before the procedure, but they insisted on coming. The office was small, and after a little friendly banter, we started in. The first one popped out no problem, a round and normal lipoma. There were about fifty places marked on my body to be cut that night so I knew I'd be there for a while. The second was a fibroid tumor as well as the third, and we were joking and laughing as the procedure progressed. I was singing a song in Spanish, with the title changed from Besa Me Mucho (Kiss Me a Lot), to Corta Me Mucho (Cut Me a Lot), when we notice one suture bulging badly. As luck would have it, I had sent my wife and her family away to eat dinner at a nearby restaurant, since the operation would take hours. The doctor and I were alone, and had been joking back and fourth for some time, mostly doctor jokes, accompanied by some playful banter about the intelligence of poking fun at someone holding a scalpel. Shortly, the doctor realized that a major vein had been damaged during an extraction; due to the way the tumor had grown into it. I started losing blood rapidly, yet I did not feel panic nor fear. We rushed off to the main hospital, all the way making more jokes about how maybe I really shouldn't have told that last one about a doctor performing a breast augmentation on the wrong patient. When we arrived, my friend and another doctor quickly repaired the damage. I did not realize until much later, while talking with my friend the doctor, how very serious the situation was. If my prone-to-hysteria wife were there, or worse her mother, it would have been chaotic, with much screaming and anxiety. This would have then upset me, which as my friend explained, could have caused my heart to start pumping harder and faster, further opening the damaged vein and causing me to lose an even more dangerous amount of blood. Instead, because the mood was light and I was in good spirits thanks to all the jokes, I remained calm and was able to leave the hospital that same night. Humor saved the day!” |
