Abstract:
We've all heard the expression "laughter is the best medicine." Over the years, scientific evidence has corroborated the therapeutic value of laughter, which has been shown to lower BP and heart rate, improve lung capacity, improve memory and alertness, reduce pain, aid digestion, and lower levels of stress hormones.But during a hectic workday, as we witness the worries and sufferings of others, we often forget to laugh. Indeed, we wonder if it's even appropriate. How could we laugh in such troubled times? This true story from Chicken Soup for the Nurse's Soul, Second Dose, reminds us that laughter is good for the patient's soul too.
