The Awkward Yeti is by far one of my favorite comics, and this book was comically loaded with testimonies from real people about the most awkward and hilarious medical situations. On the whole, it was really relatable and the bits added by the Awkward Yeti priceless! I highly recommend this and anything written by Nick Seluk.

The minute I saw this comic I was interested in it. I´m in med school so a book about bizarre health stories was right up my alley and I´m very happy that I picked it up. This comic has small “chapters” in which we follow different true health stories. The author manages to turn horrific medical events into something funny and lighthearted while also being informative and real.

This comic was so funny, adorable and informative and I had a great time reading it. I was reading this while I was in class and I actually interrupted my teacher to ask if he had seen something like this (ops). My favorite part had to be when the author couldn´t draw a representation of what the patient said so he simply wrote “above the artistic abilities of the creator”.

Overall, if you are looking for a short fun comic that will make you laugh and also teach you some things, this is perfect for you. I am definitely going to keep an eye out for other Awkward Yeti comics.

Thank you so much to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I received a copy from Netgalley. All opinions expressed are my own.

As someone with digestive "issues," I think it's best to laugh at one's discomfort. I recommend you go out and purchase a copy today. You'll thoroughly enjoy it!!

I love the Awkward Yeti, so thought this would be more of the usual humor that you see there.

It is not.

Instead, it is just as funny, and weird, and tells stories of medical conditions that turned out weirdly. Done in the same style as that of the Awkward Yeti, we hear stories of kidney stones, and moldy pancakes, and losing ones sense of smell.

Fun, but weird book.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

What a fantastic graphic novel!
The medical stories are so odd and weird, but the real gift is the addition of the graphics and hilarious but still subtle jokes. I have loved the Awkward Yeti for a long time now and it was a complete treat to read this. I was trying to pace myself but finished reading in one go. My cat was sitting on my lap and was disturbed by all the laughing I did.
I would definitely read more of these stories or any other things the author has to share with the world.

I got this book through NetGalley. Since I'm such a huge fan of the others, I couldn't wait to read it. I found this funny and interesting. I'll continue reading anything that Nick Seluk decides to publish.

As a huge fan of Heart & Brain comics, I couldn't pass up reading this collection. A series of true medical stories, with some added humor and illustrations. A few of the stories were bland, but most of them were very entertaining and disturbing. I have a few good friends that are ER nurses, and stories like this are epically funny.
