Dave Coverly's A Prescription for Laughter takes no prisoners as he boldly crosses the lines of patient/doctor confidentiality to document the funny, often bizarre, and sometimes hilarious encounters a patient can have with a doctor. There's no denying that a good laugh is very good medicine for the soul, and it's with a keen eye that Coverly finds humor in everything from (un)routine office visits to inhospitable hospital stays. For example, there's a doctor confessing to his patient, "I'll be the first to admit, the results of your autopsy were very surprising," or a couple sitting with their newborn as an officer appears to say, "I'm sorry, ma'am, but there was a mix-up at the hospital, and we think you brought home the wrong husband,", or a surgeon explaining, "We put a screw in your hip, and since you were under, we figured we'd just tighten the loose one in your head."
Laughter is an instant antidote to stress and anxiety and with this hilarious book you will soon be feeling on top of the world.

Cartoonist John McPherson’s comics may be close to home, but thank your lucky stars that his erratic characters haven’t made themselves too comfortable in your home. McPherson’s ode to everyday life is punctuated with the off-the-wall personalities who can turn any normal occurrence into something ridiculous. The only way to read these cartoons and their comical characters—from inept surgeons to cruel chiropractors—is to expect the unexpected. Close to Home debuted in 50 newspapers in 1992 after McPherson left his engineering job to become a full-time cartoonist, and today the comic strip runs in nearly 700 newspapers worldwide. His characters are regularly confronted with everyday dilemmas, including aggressive acupuncture and leaky laughing gas tanks, and their responses are always cleverly unpredictable. The situations are somehow both outlandish yet relatable, and anyone is sure to burst out in laughter at this original e-book collection of all of Close to Home’s boldest and best takes on everything medical.

They will definitely put you in a good mood. No one is safe from our writers— from spouses to parents to children to colleagues and friends. And of course the funniest of all are the stories they tell about their own mishaps and those “most embarrassing moments.” There’s no holding anything back in these pages, so prepare for lots of good, clean (and not so clean) fun.

He’d get up early to avoid traffic.” --Chuck Welch, Houston, TX “When my husband was a home builder, his thumb ended up on the business end of a sledgehammer, and our three-year-old daughter, Kiana, was eager to tell the entire world. When her caregiver asked how the accident had happened, Kiana shook her head sadly and said, “You know, sometimes at work, my daddy just gets hammered.” --Stasia Uhlmann, Rocky Mountain House, Canada “After one of my students acted up, I took him to our school psychiatrist, who asked if he had ADHD. “No,” said the boy. “I just have a normal TV.” –Matthew Hughes, Fort Collins, CO “I’ve been told that when you meet the right person, you know immediately. How come when you meet the wrong person, it takes a year and a half?” --Comedian Phil Hanley

When Janice met with Moshe Lang on Mondays for two years over a pot of Japanese rice tea, they laughed and argued over many questions as Moshe reminisced. Even with their mutual appreciation, sometimes they just didn't understand each other's humour. They swapped stories, explored issues and revisited Moshe's 55 plus years as a Family Therapist and Psychologist. His published works were reviewed through the humour lens. All to find the slippery answer: can humour in life and in therapy be defined and if so, is it still humorous? This is not a textbook. It is a sharing of ideas punctuated by Moshe's stories that hopefully helps you think seriously about humour in your life and practice. Perhaps as you read, you might smile in recognition.
