FunnySurgeryStories.com Launches Today

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., March 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Anyone who works in a hospital clinical setting is familiar with stress, trauma and drama. The surgery department can be an especially stressful environment, often with staff facing daily life and death situations. A unique new website launching today will be an entertaining place for OR pros to enjoy and share funny work stories.

FunnySurgeryStories.com features an on-going "soap opera" podcast "As the Scalpel Slices™" where visitors can listen to weekly three-minute episodes, where characters are OR employees and surgeons. "OR Funnies™" allows visitors to upload amusing video stories about working in surgery. In the "Witless Protection Program™," visitors can share written stories about funny events taking place in their operating rooms.

The HIPAA-compliant site was created by entrepreneur and surgical device inventor Julie Ryan of Birmingham, Ala.

"I've seen firsthand how dedicated surgery personnel and physicians are, how stressful their lives can be and how humor is used to relieve stress. Some of the best jokes and stories come out of the OR," Ryan said. "It's my hope that FunnySurgeryStories.com, a site designed for quick, easy accessibility, provides a welcome break for OR staffers and doctors."

The podcast soap opera "As the Scalpel Slices" is recorded in Nashville and penned by a successful professional comedy writer. After listening to the podcast, site visitors will be able to vote and influence how next week's storyline will unfold.
