The Power of Laughter

19 Jun 2008 11:34 AM

Humour is a vital coping mechanism, enabling people to defuse stress, deal with humiliation, deflate embarrassment and mentally cope with pain and suffering. At the right time and in the right context, most people are able to find laughter helpful in examining their plight, even in the face of terrible adversity.

Laughter can be therapeutic for medical staff too. It helps put problems into perspective, acts as a cathartic and relaxes, relieving the tensions and stresses of suffering, as well as the pressured job that is the lot of the doctor or nurse.

So laughing helps patients cope with illness, doctors cope with their patients, and everyone in the hospital rub along with the failings of the rest of the team.
