Laughter is the Best Medicine: Amusing Websites and Videos

Thanks to KevinMD and the folks at Science Based Medicine respectively, I have enjoyed a good belly laugh at the following:

1. A satirical website devoted to a new EMR system: “Extormity

“At the confluence of extortion and conformity lies Extormity, the electronic health records mega-corporation dedicated to offering highly proprietary, difficult to customize and prohibitively expensive healthcare IT solutions. Our flagship product, the Extormity EMR Software Suite, was recently voted ‘Most Complex’ by readers of a leading healthcare industry publication.”

2. A video spoof of the TV show “ER,” but run by New Age therapists. It’s called “Homeopathy ER.”

3. And as a bonus website for those of you who may not have discovered it yet, engrish.com is full of amusing foreign signs and product messages in broken English.

I hope these sites get your endorphins going!This post originally appeared on Dr. Val’s blog at RevolutionHealth.com.
