Mike Cyra’s debut eBook-Emergency Laughter: It Wasn't Funny When It Happened, But It Is Now, is a collection of hilarious real-life medical stories.

Mike’s comedic storytelling style of writing lets you experience what it’s like to drive an emergency vehicle through traffic, the wrong way to deliver a baby, How to fake unconsciousness, how not to chop all your fingers off and what to do when you find yourself alone in a morgue refrigerator.
Stare death in the face and live to tell about it, at the hands of vomiting children and old women who spit food.

Laughter helps the mind, heals the body and is a critical survival tool for all who deal with death, dying and disaster up close. Mike shows that it’s OK to laugh at yourself and the world around you.
