Hi Everyone,
I guess I should start this topic off by explaining what I mean by "Funny Ha-Ha but not Funny Medical Covers". I am referring to anything relating to Medicine that is funny when you read it but not so funny when you actually think about it.

Here's some examples:

I don't care what anyone says. As far as I'm concerned, Clinical trials are easy money.



Is this a political cover?



Can you say Rehab?

Heres a couple more


Pre What????


Here's an interesting combination...


The front of this cover seems innocent enough


I wish I could say the same about the back...


I would love to see scans of interesting medical things anyone else might have.

Thanks,
Lucky

A few comments....

On the Japanese Cover, a prefecture is to Japan what a Province is to Canada, and a state is to the U.S.

As for experimental medicine, the heart surgery I had in 1965 and 1968, at the Hospital For Sick Children in Toronto, Ontario was wholly experimental. I am sure that the information that was being passed in some of these letters saved many lives.

A most interesting topic! Thank-you for sharing.

My point exactly David. Funny to read but not funny (serious actually) when you think about it. Thanks for sharing your experience relating to this topic.
