In the modern era, artists, patients and healthcare professionals have turned to humour to visualise medical themes or to reimagine the medicalised body. Through thoughtful and colourful analysis, Sick jokes shows how visual humour can both illuminate and distort the realities of health, ill health and the inner workings of the medical world. -- .
