Real life medical drama is OK… but true stories of emergency medicine that make you laugh out loud are better!
Mike Cyra’s comedic storytelling style of writing is hilarious! Emergency Laughter is a collection of real-life, adrenaline-fueled, near-death experiences at the hands of old women who spit food, vomiting children, a morgue refrigerator and out of control ambulances.
Learn how to drive an emergency vehicle through traffic, fake unconsciousness, the wrong way to deliver a baby, the best way to chop all your fingers off, the Hiney-Lick Maneuver, why stupid people blame doctors for everything and how to really make sure a person is dead.
Laughter helps the mind, heals the body and is a critical survival tool for all who deal with death, dying and disaster up close. Emergency Laughter shows that it’s OK to laugh at yourself.
Mike Cyra spent twenty-years working as an EMT, a Chief Medical Officer on a ship in Alaska’s Bering Sea, a Surgical Technologist and an Instructor of Maritime Emergency Medicine. His humor has appeared in The Placebo Journal, Our USA Magazine, Parenting Humor.
Emergency Laughter will stay with the reader long after it’s put down.
Funny! Seriously funny situations! I’ll admit to being a bit biased. I worked with Mike for eight years on that fish processing ship in the Bering Sea. Mike was pee-your-pants funny then and his humor comes across loud and clear in this book. I want to assure you all that when the fish guts hit the fan, Mike was always 100 percent professional… but the rest of the time? What out!Buy the book! Mike will pocket enough money to have a beer… and you’ll WANT to buy him a beer after reading this book!
Laugh out load situations! I enjoyed this book from beginning to end. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the situations the author GOT himself into. I could visualize them, as if I were standing there watching it all first hand. This was a very quick read, or it was a quick read, because I found myself not wanting to put it down. Either way, it is a book, that you will enjoy reading. It gives you some insight into the way our EMT’s make light of a stressful job.
Funny! It was a great read, I had a hard time not laughing out loud in the subway. Now i have to look for another book like this.
