Mike Cyra takes us on another hilarious grand tour of the strange medical humor in the real-life world of emergency medicine and surgery. Whether he's assisting trauma surgeons who are singing “Take me out to the ballgame” while removing a well-placed iconic symbol of America’s greatest past time, learning how fast he can run after being shot at by an angry couple who called for an ambulance, working with a prankster-loving urologist who demonstrates how bladder problems were diagnosed before modern urinalysis, or screaming like a little girl while doing night rounds with a dead flashlight on a psychiatric ward, Cyra’s comedic style of storytelling will make your cheeks sore. Emergency Laughter: Stories of Humor Inside Ambulances and Operating Rooms shows why most health care professionals have such a twisted sense of humor and how critical laughter is to the survival of both patient and care giver.

My only complaint about this book is, I wanted it to be longer. Mike Cyra's writing, and story telling styles will have you laughing until tears flow, and you can't breathe. Yes, it's THAT funny! I've recommended his first book to many people, and found it tough to get folks to follow through, and actually read the book. But, even after having read the first book a number of times, it still cracks me up. So, I sometimes treat friends to a reading of a chapter or two. Mr. Cyra, for the book sales you have made following the hilarity of several group readings of your first book, you are most welcome. Good laughs are worth sharing.So, while on a trip with a group of friends who I had told about the first book, after a friend had been permanently discouraged from EVER eating certain dairy products again, we were looking on to help my friends find the first book. Lo and behold, here was this new book. With the glee of a kid on Christmas morning, I immediately snatched up a kindle copy, and began to read aloud.This second treasure of a book is even better than the first! We all laughed until we cried. Thanks for the fun Mike! More, more! PLEASE!Laughter is good for body and soul folks. Get this book. It will make your day!
Like I said in the title just too short, if you like medical humour, read this book. Medical situations seem so not funny, but often the only way to cope is with humour. Mike does a wonderful job of letting us share in the stories of humanity and the funny parts of some unfunny incidents. Humour allows people to continue in jobs that often would tear people apart if they could not find something funny.
What a funny book. What a great author.I used to work in the EMS as an E M T. I too, remember some hilarious experiences as well as far too many tragedies, which brings me to an important point: This man showed his compassion and his respect to all that he crossed paths with.I am grateful that he continues to teach his unique skills.Thank you, sir for serving your fellow man.(PS : The story about the man with the Dildo up his rear, is truly a " classic ".)
Made it all the funnier, because, since some of the people sounded like those I'd met(as a trauma volunteer) I got to enjoy it that much more. I only wish I had the pleasure of knowing, meeting or maybe remembering Mike. What a wonderful story teller and no one can not read this without laughing themselves into tears. 5-STARS
As someone who has worked in medicine for 50 years, I really enjoyed Mike Cyra's accounts. I related to many of the situations and laughed again and again - something needed when life is "same ol' same ol' ".
Very well written story of a young man who was a paramedic and surgical tech. Some of his stories were very funny and some were very touching. His explanations of different medical terms were spot on. Would love to read more of his exploits.
This is a very humorous book as well as a sobering look at the many different types of individuals that come into an ER. This shows the hard work that many doctors do in the ER and the situations that call for up to the minute decision as well as dealing with difficult people and situations. Anyone who likes medical stories with some humor as well as drama will appreciate this book.
If you're a "care worn professional" in a "People helping" profession, read this. Mike has found a way through humor to handle life's demands. His stories will recharge your batteries and remind you you're not alone. Good read.. get ready to laugh and be ready to start again when you thought you might quit.
