Hello everyone,
How are you today?
Humor can be a valuable tool in medicine, improving communication and diffusing tension in both medical education and patient care.
It promotes learning, grabs attention, and can even help reduce patient stress.
That said, humor must be approached thoughtfully, with care and empathy. A few guiding principles include:
When used sensitively, humor can foster stronger connections and bring warmth to the care experience, making patients feel seen and valued.
Have you ever experienced a situation where a doctor or healthcare professional’s humor lightened a stressful moment?
In your opinion, what are the risks of using humor in a medical setting?
What types of humor do you think are most appropriate in patient-caregiver relationships?
