No need for a second opinion—this collection is a healthy dose of funny.

New Yorker cartoonist Leo Cullum found a different way to beat colon cancer: by creating cartoons that poked fun at the medical industry with his all-too-true medical-themed new work, Suture Self.

With observations like "It was a rare, but serious, side effect" and "This IS a second opinion. At first, I thought you had something else." you will literally split your sides.

This book should be in every doctor's office waiting room.

Laughter is the best medicine. No copay required.
