This book is not worth the time it took to download it. I must admit that I only read eight chapters because it was so tedious. The author seems to have intended to make it informative and humorous but it was neither. A totally missed opportunity to educate in a lighthearted way. Skip this one.

Ohmygod this was both weird and so funny, and I enjoyed every second of it! I love the concept of these comics so much as someone interested in medicine. Really enjoyed and want to read more of these!

I quite liked the weirdness of the stories illustrated!
**Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from Netgalley/ Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.

As a huge fan of Heart & Brain comics, I couldn't pass up reading this collection. A series of true medical stories, with some added humor and illustrations. A few of the stories were bland, but most of them were very entertaining and disturbing. I have a few good friends that are ER nurses, and stories like this are epically funny.

I've seen Awkward Yeti comics online and loved them. This was a well done book that tells a story over a few pages.

The stories ranged from funny to the down right scary. I loved the comments added in throughout the stories, they really brought the humour.

If you're looking for something quick and funny, this is a must read.

I love The Awkward Yeti, so whenever I see that there's a new collection up on Netgalley, I jump to download it as soon as possible. I think this has to be one of my favorite works of Seluk's yet, even though it totally branches out from the usual style! Instead of a collection of short, humorous, silly comics, this is actually a collection of true medical stories that were submitted (mostly by patients, but sometimes by providers) and then dramatized through comics. They're still adorable and hilarious (the gallbladder has my heart forever with its little "you don't wike da stones?" moments), but it's also super informative and morbidly fascinating. Whether you're new to The Awkward Yeti comics or a long-time fan, I strongly recommend picking this one up!

We leave the Heart and Brain characters from this series' regular comic pages behind here, as we see instead reportage dressed up in cartoonish ways. And this is all reportage from the front line of medical incident, where people swallow sewing needles, entire rockpool shells jam themselves into feet, and so on. A couple of the vox pops are just simple anecdote, or discussion of what it's like to have this or that, and so suffer a little from lack of incident, but the creator of the images is always coming up trumps. I've seen similar books to this regarding dreams and other things sent in to the illustrators to dramatise, and while it's therefore a format I've seen work very enjoyably, it's also easy to see it making for a bad book as well. This isn't one of those bad books. So although I would have wanted something more geared to the freakish, and Darwin Awards kind of action (the chapters involving popcorn and lawnmowers – say no more – are highlights), I'd still recommend this. Unless the phrase "I could taste burnt nose flesh" puts you off, that is.
