Listen "From Burnout to Punchlines: Freud's Solution"
Episode Synopsis
Discover the fascinating historical connection between comedy and physician burnout at Vienna's Allgemeine Krankenhaus. In this satirical, fictional story, learn how Sigmund Freud prescribed stand-up comedy as a cure for burned-out doctors. We explore the remarkable discovery of a hidden box containing transcripts from the world's first physician comedy club, where renowned medical professors transformed from stressed clinicians into amateur comedians[1]. From Billroth's char-woman jokes to Stutterman's Bad-Wenheim punchlines, this untold chapter of medical history reveals how the father of psychoanalysis believed laughter could save the medical profession
