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
Produced by Dr. Theodor Billroth Written and Directed by Dr. Sigmund Freud Visuals by Schleppers of Beverly Hills
