Medical Humor

Most of my editing work is in the medical field, a dry, generally humorless field when it comes to medical texts. But, lo and behold, medicine is not humor-less as the following musical videos demionstrate (with thanks to my wife for discovering them on YouTube). All are performed by the Laryngospasms.

First up, is Waking Up is Hard to Do:

Next up is Breathe:

Third, is the Laryngospasms at the AANA Conference singing about getting their cases out on time (and in case you don’t recognize the underlying tune of the first song, think Rowdy Yates and the theme from Rawhide; the second song is based on Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels’ Devil with the Blue Dress On):

Last, is Mr. Gasman:

Just goes to prove that there can be humor in medicine :).
