When you're sick, you have to deal with a lot on the road to recovery, and alongside a prescription for pills, you often come home with funny and absurd anecdotes from the doctor's office or the hospital. For example, there's the cunning family doctor who teams up with the patient's wife to force him into a strict diet and exercise regimen, or the completely incompetent doctor who simply cannot diagnose the "surely" existing brain tumor of his long-time patient. Whether it's a nurse, an incorrigible hypochondriac, or an infallible demigod in white - they all share their stories about illnesses and other curiosities, proving with a healthy dose of gallows humor that laughter is ultimately the best medicine.
