Overview

Real life medical drama is OK… but true stories of emergency medicine that make you laugh out loud are better!

Mike Cyra's comedic storytelling style of writing is hilarious! Emergency Laughter is a collection of real-life, adrenaline-fueled, near-death experiences at the hands of old women who spit food, vomiting children, a morgue refrigerator and out of control ambulances.

Learn how to drive an emergency vehicle through traffic, fake unconsciousness, the wrong way to deliver a baby, the best way to chop all your fingers off, the Hiney-Lick Maneuver, why stupid people blame doctors for everything and how to really make sure a person is dead.

Laughter helps the mind, heals the body and is a critical survival tool for all who deal with death, dying and disaster up close. Emergency Laughter shows that it’s OK to laugh at yourself.

Emergency Laughter will stay with the reader long after it’s put down.

Mike Cyra spent twenty-years working as an EMT, a Chief Medical Officer on a ship in Alaska’s Bering Sea, a Surgical Technologist and an Instructor of Maritime Emergency Medicine.

His humor has appeared in The Placebo Journal, Our USA Magazine, Parenting Humor and HumorPress.com.

Editorial Reviews

Midwest Book Review
You may wonder how could someone who works in this field write a humor book. I say, how could he not! He feels laughter can help heal the mind and body and I definitely agree. Anyone who works in such a stressful job certainly needs to find the lighter side as much as possible. His book opens up this hidden world to the reader in ways that will keep you glued to the pages and bring you up front and centered to the action going on. What a ride!

    Extremely crude language

    The first chapter of this book was rather humorous, but by the third or fourth chapter, the cussing was so heavy I stopped reading.

    Good times!

    I have a Doctor, Nurse, and Special Forces medic in my family and I remember sitting across from them, laughing until I cried at the stories they had to tell us. Reading this book was like bringing all those good times back. The author retells these situations with the right mixture of snark and good humor to make this a seriously *laugh out loud* read. If you need a laugh, you can't go wrong with this one!

    FANTASTIC READ!

    Loved this book! As an EMT or really anyone who works in any of the emergency services, I was able to picture each and every scene as I read it. What makes this book so hilariously good is that at some point in your career you can relate to each and everyone thing that happens in this book. One of the best books that I have read in a long time!

    I LOVED IT!

    MIKE'S writing style reflects his insight into the intricacies of working in the healthcare profession. As a healthcare worker myself I found myself chuckling at first.....then outright laughing. I LOVE THIS BOOK! I brought it to work to share with my peers. Can't wait for more work from this author! CHARMAYNE
