This Won’t Hurt a Bit (Lies!): A Poetic Look at Medical Tests

A laugh-out-loud poetic roast of the medical world!

From the waiting room nightmare to the dreaded gown malfunction, from the horrors of a colonoscopy prep to the betrayal of the “little puff” eye test, Michaele L. LePage, Ph.D., delivers a hilarious, painfully relatable collection of medical poetry that every patient (and healthcare worker) will understand.

With a sharp wit and firsthand experience as a surgical technologist, Michaele turns doctor visits, diagnostic tests, and medical indignities into pure comedy gold. Whether you’ve endured the needle of doom, the mammogram smash, or the ever-humbling prostate check, this book will have you laughing through the pain—literally.

Perfect for:
✔ Anyone who’s ever been a patient (so… everyone!)
✔ Healthcare workers who need a good laugh
✔ Fans of medical humor, satire, and poetic wit
✔ People who cope with medical appointments by laughing instead of crying

Prepare yourself for a no-holds-barred poetic journey through the absurd, the awkward, and the downright unfair world of medical procedures. Warning: Do NOT read while drinking—you may spit out your beverage!
