Resource Links
Humor sites:
The benefits of keeping or cultivating a sense of humor in medicine are enormous, though one must be careful about what jokes are funny where. The jokes chemo patients tell each other, for example, are rarely humorous to their families.
- Cancer humor: http://sburton.com/
- The Health and Humor Collection - jokes, funny stories, and some scientific articles on the benefits of humor: http://www.thehumorcollection.org/
- HumorMatters Page (this site bans pop-up messages) - good jokes, bad puns, and scientific data on humor and medicine. Also, many links to other good sites. The "out of the mouth of babes" section is terrific. http://www.humormatters.com/
- Carolina Health and Humor Association - based originally on the Laugh Mobile at Duke Medical Center
. Includes stress relief techniques: http://www.carolinahealthandhumor.org/
- The Laughter Remedy - not just for medicine, but for "stressed out people and organizations". Also some good links. It is a newsletter, complete with archives. If it is not obvious how to get past the home page, move your mouse around. Be careful where and when you open this, because it comes with an audio laugh track. http://www.laughterremedy.com/home.dir/main.html
