Laughter is the Best Medicine

I'm an RN, and I give my cards out to patients. They are usually very sick when I am working with them, have been to hell and back, so they get the joke. No one has told me they have been offended by them. They laugh and thank me.

I met one woman whose sister was very sick, and when I told the visitor I had something for her, she said it better make her laugh. I gave her one for herself and one for the patient. She did laugh. There is documentation out there that we need at least 20 minutes of laughter a day to help our immune system.
