BIRMINGHAM, AL, April 09, 2011 (Press-News.org) It's fast becoming the place online for medical humor.
FunnySurgeryStories.com just launched a few weeks ago and new funny surgery stories and videos are being uploaded daily. The operating room is a stressful place, so FunnySurgeryStories.com is a shelter that focuses on fun, laughs and drama set in busy hospitals.
One of the most popular features of the site is the world's only surgery-based soap opera podcast "As the Scalpel Slices." With the slogan "Love and Laughs, Life and Death in the OR," the website's three-minute medical soap opera "As the Scalpel Slices" is an original weekly podcast written by a top movie and television comedy writer based in Nashville.
Funny Surgery Stories visitors vote every week on the next week's storyline. The podcast is recorded in Nashville and the "star" is Kiki the nursing student. Supporting cast members include supervisor Marge, orderly Joey, scrub nurse Brigitte, attending surgeon Dr. Brown and chief resident Noah.
The brand-new episode "Top Gun Fun Guy" is about the muscle-bound orthopedic surgeon who has his sights set on Kiki.
Funny Surgery Stories creator Julie Ryan, who holds numerous patents of surgical devices, said she wants her new humorous medical site to be a safe and inspiring place for operating room pros to relax, enjoy and share funny work stories.
FunnySurgeryStories.com has an area called "OR Funnies, " which allows visitors to upload funny surgery videos about their surgery experiences. In the "Witless Protection Program ," visitors can share funny written stories about funny events taking place in the operating rooms (approved for HIPAA compliance). Stories are voted on by "scalpels," and prizes are given to members who upload funny surgery stories that receive the highest rating, five scalpels.
FunnySurgeryStories.com membership is free. Funny Surgery Stories is on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/funnysurgerystories and Twitter @funsurgstories.
