"Waking up is hard to do"

Following my blog post about the importance of sleep, a friend of mine, Maxine, posted a link to a blog post on Not Totally Rad, a blog that gives insight into medical imaging. Maxine said that

"Probably only the medical types with as equally sick sense of humour as I will find this funny, but what the heck... "


Well, of course I had to look at the link and I'm so glad I did. I'm still chuckling and thought you may find it delightful as I did and do! 


Born at a Christmas party in 1990, they are a group of practicing Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists who call themselves the Laryngospasms. The larynx is the voice box and a laryngospasm is a spasm of the larynx that is a complication of anaesthesia. The group create and perform medical parodies for audiences throughout the United States.

I needed this laugh!  What about you, do you think this is funny or sick?  Is it only those of us who are socialised into hospital culture who find this humour funny?  I'm really interested in what you think.  I know that we can always talk comfortably about the most amazing, body oriented subjects at mealtimes, which other members of the family and non-health related friends think is really 'off'.
