Advance Praise

“This is the absolute funniest book ever written in the history of mankind! I’m proud of the author for writing it, but I’d be a lot happier if he called me more.”

—Gail Friedman, David’s mother

“I’m a clown who is a doctor, not a doctor who is a clown. I loved the silly stories in Funny Bones!”

—Patch Adams, MD

“Everyone needs more laughter. It truly is good for the soul! And this book made me smile, chuckle, and laugh out loud on every page. I promise it will do the same for you.”

—Jack Canfield, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul® series

“Laughter really is the best medicine, unless you’ve had massive organ failure. With so many stuffy, stern, and glum doctors, kudos to Dr. Friedman for creating some needed smiles in his clinic and around the world. Laughter helps get us through tough times. Even if you’ve been divorced four times and lost all your money to alimony, your house, and everything; just being able to laugh about it can help pull you through like nothing else.”

—Tom Arnold, actor, comedian, and comedy writer

“Funny Bones made me laugh so hard I almost cracked a rib! Dr. Friedman is the doctor I always wanted to have. His wild and wacky stories are right up my alley!”

—Renée Taylor, comedian, Oscar-nominated and Emmy Award–winning actress

“Congrats to Dr. Friedman for his new book Funny Bones. I may be America’s favorite pothead, but he is a bone-afide crackhead! The last time I had my back cracked, I felt so good it was as if I smoked a chiropractic doobie! Keep up the great spine-tingling smiles and chuckles.”

—Tommy Chong, comedian (“Cheech and Chong”), actor, and cannabis activist

“This is the absolute funniest book ever written in the history of mankind! I’m proud of the author for writing it, but I’d be a lot happier if he called me more.”

Featured Reviews

I laughed out loud from the very first page. What a delightful, fun, and easy read. Even the cartoons Dr. Friedman drew in each chapter gave me a chuckle. He shares quick-witted humor to help put nervous patients at ease and they also return the humor. with silly banter and even a few practical jokes. The one that the late great Robin Williams played on him was hilarious! I only wish more doctors would learn from this book that it's okay to smile and laugh with patients instead of the typical robotic uncaring nature so often experienced with conventional medicine. From funny true stories about his celebrity patients, married couples, and children, to farts, smelly patients and rednecks, this book has it all. I must warn you, if you are looking for a memoir-style, detailed book, you will be disappointed with Funny Bones. But if you want a quick, feel-good escape from your stresses and the daily grind, this book is the prescription for you. And, Dr. Friedman is giving all proceeds to charity. He's a funny doctor with a kind, giving heart.

Well, this is a really hilarious book full of silly jokes. Old humor, new jokes, chiropractic jokes, great jokes about farting while having chiropractic adjustments, stories of entertainers with bad backs, just one heck of a really, funny book. This is a greatly relaxing book and has no socially redeeming value at all. Except for laughter. And, hey, what is more healing than several hours of laughter. Laugh your pains away. Really impressively funny.
