5.0 out of 5 stars Doctor, Laugh at Thyself, November 25, 2007

By	Kevin D. Marler, M.D. (Atlanta, Georgia, United States) - See all my reviews

Funny, but SO TRUE! You would have to be dead not to laugh at these quips. Any doctor in practice for a few years will relate to most if not all of them. If you are getting burned out or overly stressed, pull this book out and flip through it and you will be laughing in no time. It really helps to know that all doctors have the same frustrations. Includes many corollaries and axioms to each law to further break down the often comical, but predictable behavior, of patients. Great source for jokes to incorporate into medical presentations also. WARNING: Don let your patients see this one or they will know how doctors really think!
