Laughter is the best medicine” is a common saying amongst the young and the old, but is it really true? After all, how much can your mood really affect your body?

Turns out, a lot. Studies have proved multiple benefits of laughter, such as stress reduction, increased pain tolerance, and a boosted immune system. On top of all that, it also does wonders for our mental health, helping us cope with the sometimes-tough ordeal of being a human.

The doctors from the list below certainly know the importance of a good joke. That is why they do their best to lift the mood of patients in their offices. From therapy dogs for anxious patients to creative art pieces on the waiting room walls, doctors are quick to prove that they not only have compassion but also a few funny bones in their bodies.

Wow, that is next level cool. Never seen or heard of that, but I kinda feel that should be common in any obstetrics office.

Any doctors office where it's common for caretakers to accompany, as well. Sadly caretaker abuse is a big thing.

Another one of those sayings that many keep mentioning is that humans only use 10% of their brain. The claim first appeared after Harvard psychologists tested energy reserve theories with a child protégé in 1890. Only a few decades later, in 1920, the claim started spreading through self-help literature and eventually found itself in the world-famous book 'How to Win Friends and Influence People'.

However, this time, the claim is false. The truth of the matter is that, throughout the day, we use 100% of our brain. Sure, the neurons aren’t all firing up at once, but they are active. That’s because it’s not only thinking that happens up there. The brain coordinates our motor functions and keeps involuntary actions like breathing going.

To do one single task like pouring yourself a cup of coffee takes quite a few brain regions to light up. There's getting the idea, then physically getting the coffee pot, deciding on the cup, and remembering the creamer in the fridge—way more elaborate than it might seem at first glance.

They’re almost all labs and many are trained for hospitals and have this “horizontal comfort” training. They get the “visit” command and they just snuggle up like the big spoon blanket like it’s their proper place to be in the world. So comforting…

    Cats would do a better job. We'd (kind of) root from afar. You can't trust human kittens not to grab tails or slobber. We would, however, present the human kittens with their very own mousie toys. We'd climb up the soft can-opener with the funny toys, and well, you know what? It sounds like actual work. Nevermind. Let the dogs do it. We'll give the tuna cans emotional support instead.

    When talking to Scientific American, neurologist Barry Gordon said it’s pretty obvious that we employ the whole brain when living our everyday lives. “Let's put it this way: the brain represents three percent of the body's weight and uses 20 percent of the body's energy.”

    Gordon thinks the prevalence of this myth is caused by the fact that we all want to believe we are capable of grand things, things that are only possible if there is some untapped brain power at play. However, unfortunately, there’s no such thing.

    Love it! However, my dentist said that while those little flossers are definitely better than nothing, they don't do as good a job as regular floss. They can't get down around the base of the tooth like regular floss can. Also, and this one is from me not him, lots of extra plastic waste. Sorry to be the downer in the comments.

    I could not floss my teeth my gums hurt too much. but I found a way. I started with two teeth on each side up and down. I did any old teeth like this for a month then doubled the teeth each month I added a few and before you know it I was doing all my teeth. I never was careful at what teeth I flossed. as long as I flossed the proper amount. I guess my gums got used to it slowly. it worked. I floss every day several times.

    I also gave birth on Halloween and the doctor was not dressed up (he barely got their with enough time to deliver my baby) but the nurses were and it was a little surreal to be going through childbirth with a fairy helping you and having a vampire wheel you in to your room. That birth was so fast though I didn't have time for an epidural so I hardly even noticed.

    However, that is not the case. That is because it’s not the cold that makes you sick, it’s viruses and bacteria. So, whether you go outside with wet or dry hair, your chances of getting sick are the same and dependent on what kind of germs you come across.

    I got stung by a bee for the first time in 35 years yesterday. I cried and screamed, maybe because the stinger was still in. Only lasted about an hour. That would be a good 5 on the pain scale. It's almost impossible to rate pain except for by the other pain you have experienced. 10 was a breast biopsy.

They have since come out with a standard scale with explanations of how you should be physically feeling and reacting. Like someone explained above, if you can still play on your phone, it's NOT a 10.

    What’s true, though, is that going outside with wet hair when it’s cold can damage your hair. Dampness makes your hair vulnerable and, paired with the cold, it can lead to breakage. So there is a reason to avoid it, just not the one your grandma told you about.

    You would think that after having 33 surgeries in 36 years, I would be great with bloodwork and IVs. Nope. The last surgery I had, they had to call in Natalie the IV Fairy from Geriatrics to try to get the IV in. She got it in one try at the base of my wrist (right where it bends). Took her about 15 seconds to get the line in and this was after two hours of other people trying (four nurses, two anesthesiologists, the surgeon himself, and some random lab tech they seemed to have conjured up from the depths of the hospital basement).

    I had a young girl came in to take a blood sample. I told her, I was difficult, she nodded and jabbed it in as if it had been 3 cm wide. When I marveled at her, she simply said, that she could see the vein (that nobody else could). Many years later I read a story about a man who had his lenses exchanced for artificial ones, and could afterwards see UV light, so the eye can "see" it but the lenses will ordinarily stop it (for protection perhaps). I have wondered if her lenses were not opaque to UV light.

    I'm super hard to canulate on as I have a condition that means my veins are very small and because I have to have bloods drawn so often and need IV's often, they're very scarred too. They use this on me thinking it'll help and instead it just shows how shocking bad (and deep) my veins are. For IV's now I usually end up with a mid line or if that fails, a central line. It is cool to see your veins suddenly visible though!

    Sounds like they should give you a port. I had a patient that was really hard to get an IV in and since she had to have blood tests frequently they put in the port. It made drawing her monthly labs so much easier.

    Have you ever been told off by somebody for reading in the dark? Stop doing that or you will worsen your eyesight, they say. But they are, again, wrong. At least for now. Sure, reading in the dark can cause eye strain, but researchers haven’t proved that it has any lasting damage.

    Nearsightedness is way more likely to be inherited and could be worsened by continuously looking at something from a close distance (like a screen), the so-called close work. That being said, no one has looked into the long-term effects of reading in the dark, so we can’t be 100% sure. So, it’s always best to err on the cautious side and ensure you’re reading in a well-lit environment.

    It is. You wipe the ink of these markers off with a damp towel instead of a dry one. It's so that you can still easily erase what you've written but not so easy that you erase something by smudging it by mistake.

    So the next time you hear some sort of medical fact that seems to be based on popularity and not logic, be sure to double-check its validity. And if you’re ever not too certain about how to proceed, check with your doctor—they’re always ready to clarify any confusion.

    Not really new, just rediscovered. They used to do this in the 60/70s in eastern Europe. Couldnt find quickly a source on the Internet, but remember reading memoirs where they discribed patients needed to leave their rooms every so often and the staff came with an UV C light to sterilze the rooms.

    This is also how they sterilize airplanes between flights. I don't know if all airlines do this but I've seen videos of it. Theirs is sort of a robot with wings. So they fold out its 'arms' so the light is passing over multiple seats and then it apparently slowly wheels itself down the aisle. And then of course they do the other aisle.

    I disagree about the yellow jacket. They are really chill if you just ignore them. I've handled many dozens of them (one at a time over the years) and never been stung. Only times I got stung was if they felt threatened like if I accidentally put my hand down on one or stepped on one barefoot. But getting them to crawl on my hand so I can take them out of the window and let them outside - never been a problem.

    I got swarmed by them just giving my dog some food and water. They can nest in the ground and just walking above their nest is enough to p*ss them off. Doggo got moved immediately and I'm pretty sure my grandpa took care of the nest with gasoline and fire. That wasn't the first time I got swarmed by being near their nest either. Are you sure you play with yellow jackets?

    It would be more useful if these insects were shown to scale; a yellow jacket is only ~0.5" (1.3 cm) long, whereas a cicada killer is 1.5-2.0" (3.8-5.1 cm) long.

    Yellowjackets aren’t that bad. Went camping at a place full of them, and they’d go all around you if you had food or water, but they never stung anyone (I went with around 60 people). Just stand very still. They will stick to spigots and taps, but if you turn the water on they’ll either drown or fly away from it.

    Enlightened doctors are now aware that there is a biome of beneficial bacteria in the mouth and throat and that using mouthwash kills that beneficial bacteria. Kind of like overuse of antibiotics kills the beneficial gut bacteria.

    Betcha it's meclizine. I have that reaction to it. Also, the most common side effects, reported with virtually every medication on the market, include dizziness, nausea, headache, and drowsiness. These also happen to be common symptoms of a lot of other things, and it's pretty much impossible to prove whether the medication caused them or not. So when side effect reports during clinical trials for any particular symptom cross a certain threshold, they have to put a warning on it, just in case.

    My brother moved into a neighborhood that has lots of stray cats. One tried its hardest to move into my brothers house, even darting through the door. If the cat was human my brother could have gotten a restraining order. I kept telling him cats choose you, just submit. My brother can’t afford to take care of an animal though. And we think Kitty probably lived at that house and the owners dumped him when they left. ☹️ Bastards!!

    After the old gentleman nextdoor to me died and the house was being emptied, my cat went missing. The man's family were there and the cat sneaked in but they didn't see it. He was in there 3 days and then the neighbour the other side had a key and found it. I think the old man used to feed the cat, so it went in looking for him.

    My only wish would be that waiting room chairs would be more spaced apart. Nothing more awkward than having to touch shoulders with a stranger because they put the chairs so close together. I understand there's usually limited space. It's hard enough for me to be in a place filled with people, I don't want them to be physically near me. I usually just stand in a corner lol

    XD We had a Wurlitzer piano when I was a kid. The Wurlitzer company no longer manufactures pianos, however - it now manufactures only jukeboxes and vending machines. I believe they stopped manufacturing pianos in the early 90s after their piano-crafting assets/brand was acquired by the Baldwin Piano Company.

    these fancy lens things have gotten even fancier. They used to have to manually turn all the knobs. On my last eye exam it was motorized so the doctor could stand or sit at the controls and change the lenses remotely. Possibly it also auto logged the results but I'm not sure about that part.
