A Healthy Dose of Laughter

from Gross Anatomy · host Gross Anatomy Podcast

Turns out there's some truth in the expression 'laughter is the best medicine'. We explore some health benefits of laughter and how laughing can boost the immune system and even help people burn calories. We also get into some true surgeon stories — which are even crazier than the fainting spells that happen in the scripted TV hit ER. And, Dr. Cohen gives some advice to pre-med students struggling to decide where to go med school. *GROSS ANATOMY IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT. ALWAYS SEEK THE ADVICE OF YOUR PHYSICIAN OR OTHER QUALIFIED HEALTH PROVIDER WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE REGARDING A MEDICAL CONDITION.
