I went to a chiropractor once and I told her that my arm hurts when I do this and showed her. Her answer? “Don’t do that.”
Healing comes in all forms. Laughing is one of the most powerful. As much as possible I try to make the people around me laugh at how ridiculous life is. Any medical professional who works on me after they tell me the situation I always ask “Doc am I gonna die?” It always makes them laugh. I said that to my new dental hygienist and she thought it was very funny.
To be funny you just need to say or do something that is cute and unexpected. People are under tremendous stress and a little laughter goes a long way.
