What do you get when a Seinfeld writer marries an OB/GYN? A doctor with a funny delivery. Actually, lots of funny deliveries. Marc Jaffe's job was coming up with hysterical stories for Seinfeld, but nothing was funnier than the stories his gynecologist wife would tell. So, he decided to write this laugh-a-page book about life married to an Ob/gyn. It includes all the crazy stories his wife tells about: * Flying Placentas * Sex toy parties * Immaculate conceptions * Intimate tattoos * Ridiculous 4:00 am phone calls...and more comical incidents of gynecologic and obstetric intrigue. While sleeping with your gynecologist would be wrong, reading Sleeping With Your Gynecologist is very right.

From the Publisher
Why should we say anything when these people say it so much better:
PAUL REISER says: "Marc is a very funny writer. I laughed till it hurt. And then I stopped. Because who wants to be in pain from a book? But as soon as the pain subsided I jumped back in and read some more. Your try. But for God's sake, don't hurt yourself."
DENNIS MILLER: "Jaffe is a laugh riot and he needs to be stepped on hard by Mayor Daley's men."
BOB SAGET: I read everything Marc Jaffe writes. I couldn't put his book down. I was naked and needed to cover up with something."
DR. NANCY JOHNSON OB/GYN: "Many years of a gynecology practice exposes one to the intimacies, joys and grief in the most private of moments. Marc Jaffe has taken many of those opportunities to share with us the light-heartedness necessary to maintain sanity for both patient and physician. We thank him."

The Doctor Is In (And So Is The Humor),
By Scott Regan (Savannah, Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sleeping with Your Gynecologist (Paperback)
Marc Jaffe's sense of wit and wry humor make this a book that'll keep you laughing on the ninth and tenth read -- and believe me, you'll find yourself going back to these pages that many times. He has an amazingly deft touch at finding extraordinarily funny circumstances to everyday happenings. This is a must read for those whose funny bones can still be tickled -- and an absolute must read for those whose can't.

I'll prescribe it for my patients,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sleeping with Your Gynecologist (Paperback)
I've often wondered if our patients have any clue what it's like being an OB/GYN. If they don't then this very funny book will give them some insight into the craziness. It had my husband and I in tears, we were laughing so hard. The middle of the night phone calls were my favorite. That could be a book in itself. All OB/GYNs should get this book and when you're done laughing, put it in your waiting room, or get one for each exam room, then your patients won't mind when you are running behind.

A hilarious book that was hard to put down,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sleeping with Your Gynecologist (Paperback)
A must read for any male or female who wants to know what other women go through behing those secret doors! Many times I was laughing so hard tears rolled down my face. Some of the gynocological secrets (bacon) were too funny. I have reccomended this book to all my (mostly female) friends.
