This collection of weird medical comics is HILARIOUS. I cried laughing at the story called "Pancakes". Recommended for readers 16 years-old+ who aren't queasy about odd (and sometimes gross) stories.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a complimentary e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was like a buzzfeed article in comic form and I LOVED IT. Some of these were funny and others, downright fascinating. I could have read fifty more editions quite happily!

I laughed the whole way through this! So cute!! As a medical professional who received this as a gift, I can confidently say that it makes a great gift for the nurse, doctor or other medical person in your life.

I have been a fan of Seluk's work for some time now, but I have never read one of his books. This collection of comics did not disappoint! I would highly recommend for anyone who enjoys basically anything medical and a really good laugh.

I got an ARC of this book.

Yet another book I did not really look at before I requested an ARC. I saw a comic creator that I like and that was enough for me. This is not the usual comics that The Awkward Yeti does. Instead these are illustrated versions of true weird medical stories that people submitted. So if you like things like Untold Stories of the ER, but instead of actors you have the lovable organs from The Awkward Yeti reenacting the stories, this is for you.

It took me a while to warm up to the book. It was about a hundred pages in before I started to actually enjoy what I was reading. At about a hundred pages, my partner had arrived in my house and I was reading the book out lout to him. That increased the joy and the humor of it. So if you find this to not be as enjoyable as the other Awkward Yeti comics, you aren’t alone. Try reading them out loud. Though I doubt that every story could have been improved my my (nonexistent) theater skills.

Overall, the book was not what I wanted and it was only half enjoyable. This is not the Awkward Yeti that I love and it was disappointing. The jokes were eh. About half the stories were actually interesting, but I think that varied because the creator used the words of the people who submitted the stories. There was a range of story telling skills submitted. So overall, eh. I still love the Awkward Yeti but this was just eh.

These colorful collections of funny health stories brought me joy, despite having my own medical history.  Sometimes I wish I could brake up with parts of my body!!
