About this product
Product Information
What's so funny about dying?Nothing really, but if you focus on the pain and the suffering while you are stuck in the hospital, you're going to be mighty depressed.Why not look for the humor in the situation, or create amusing situations and have some fun pranking the nurses and hospital personnel?Read about one patient's snarky attempts to keep himself amused while suffering from several different and potentially life-ending situations.Like the time he got tired of nurses, doctors, and other hospital personnel coming in and without a word just whipping up his hospital gown to check his wound.Forget modesty.Little Ricky and the twins would be exposed to harsh lighting with no warning, causing defensive shrinkage. The next time someone lifted his gown, they were greeted by a black garter belt stuffed with one dollar bills. He told them, "You want to take a peek, you have to pay a buck!" Warning: If you are a woman prone to judging with comments like, "You're so immature!" this is not the book for you.For the rest of you, enjoy some naughty fun! Hospital Hijinks: A Patient's Memoir by Rick Mulligan. Review by Leonard BirdsongLeonard Birdsong is the author of two series of humor books: Professor Birdsong's Dumbest Criminal Stories and Professor Birdsong's Weird Criminal Law Stories. Rick Mulligan has hit a home run with his new book Hospital Hijinks. A short book full of fun and witty writing about his maladies and hospital stays from his early years until the present. The book is a must read for those who love humor for it is filled with concise chapters devoted to such topics as: I Hate Hospitals, Death by D-Cup, Dr. Wood Nymph, and Dicky's Back! Mr. Mulligan tells us he has spent too much time in hospitals while saddled with such problems as very painful surgery for fluid on his lungs, his bladder cancer, and lockjaw as a result of a dentist who used too much Novocain. He does an excellent job of paying homage to the nurses who helped him along the way. Much of the time he focused on performing playful pranks on the nurses but always gave them a welcome "Please" and "Thank you" for their care.You will laugh out loud at the explanations he reveals of some of the pranks he plays. However, on a deeper level, the reader will sense that this memoir is more than just a humor book. It is also a Pagliacci type story like that of the operatic clown who Smokey Robinson immortalized in his song Tears of a Clown, about the conflicted clown who always laughs but cries when no one is watching. In essence, this memoir is a poignant story that reveals some of the hurt behind the fun and hijinks of Mulligan's life in hospitals. A must read if you love humor. Hospital Hijinks - A Patient's Memoir - Rick Mulligan Reviewed by Leslie C. Halpern Being poked, prodded, sliced, and diced by doctors and nurses in the hospital isn't fun for any patient, but after suffering from three near-death experiences, Rick Mulligan decided to write about it-in a humorous way. From cutting off part of his finger as a boy to surviving bladder cancer as an adult, he recounts numerous medical adventures that are simultaneously funny and sad. At 170 pages, Hospital Hijinks is a fun and easy read directed primarily at men, although some women with a broad sense of humor might like the antics, as well. Written simply and directly (with sexual references, but little profanity), the book is short enough to be read and enjoyed in a couple of hours. Hospital Hijinks- A Patient's Memoir. Review by Jennifer Gregory - Author of Among Other Edens Take two pills and call me... wait, don't. Wrap your bandages around this book instead. Compared with some of the so-called memoirs out there... this one rips off the hospital gown with a huge dose of don't give a crap, political incorrectness. And it works... Hilarious!

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

I was pleasantly surprised by how soon I received this textbook given that it shipped from outside the U.S. It was packaged well with no damage. The price was right. And I greatly appreciated the communication informing me where the book was shipping from and including a tracking number. Overall, a positive experience, - online shopping the way it should be. I've bought books from this seller several times now without any complaints and will surely buy from them again. Thanks a lot!

Quality and hard to find book that won't be released 'til January 2025 in the U.S.A.
Fantastic price.
Book was in a secure and protective package. Arrived a few days after I placed order and that was faster than I expected.
Seller is a fantastic communicator and proactive in regards to tracking status. I'd definitely buy from them in the future.
