Humor in Medicine
By ME-P Staff Reporters
According to their website, the Placebo Journal [PJ] is a magazine for physicians whose goal, as its Latin definition states, is “to give pleasure to”. The purpose in starting this “Placebo” brand is to empower physicians with a skill that is sorely lacking today in medicine – humor.
Placebo Brand Expanding
Recently however, they expanded the placebo brand to physician assistants, nurses, radiology techs and even to patients. By using real life medical stories, all stakeholders can now laugh at the medical system.
Like a Pill?
Like a placebo pill, the PJ produces a positive effect from something of very little substance. They don’t think too much of them-selves because they know it’s a rag tabloid. And, they don’t mean to denigrate the practice of medicine, patients or other physicians. But, they do mean to humanize the medical profession more. It is not only therapeutic, but necessary. Laughter is the key to life! With the Placebo Journal, the editors want everyone to see the lighter side of the job.
Assessment
The burnout, depression and suicide rate is high among healthcare givers. Humor may heal and help.
