From Burnout to Punchlines: Freud's Solution

Discover the fascinating historical connection between comedy and physician burnout at Vienna's Allgemeine Krankenhaus. In this satirical, fictional story, learn how Sigmund Freud prescribed stand-up comedy as a cure for burned-out doctors. We explore the remarkable discovery of a hidden box containing transcripts from the world's first physician comedy club, where renowned medical professors transformed from stressed clinicians into amateur comedians[1]. From Billroth's char-woman jokes to Stutterman's Bad-Wenheim punchlines, this untold chapter of medical history reveals how the father of psychoanalysis believed laughter could save the medical profession

Pax Inguinalis Salons and Evening Events (Programme)

Evening Events – Inguinal Salons at the Pax Inguinalis
The Pax Inguinalis Program Committee has instituted a series of evening salons to compliment the scientific presentations.
These salons are fashioned after the French salons of the 1920’s during which unemployable American expatriates with English majors feigned artistic achievement.
The inguinal salons are informal discussions led by experts in the field of herniology.
Covering a wide array of timely topics, these meetings are conducted in a non-threatening gender-neutral socially conscious and environmentally safe manner paying full attention to the ethno-cultural and psycho-social development and background of the participants.
The salons will be free of focus groups, break-out sessions and facilitators. 
The Inguinal Salon series will be held each evening from 2100 Hrs.– 2200 Hrs. at the Café Pinot.
Topics and speakers are listed on the daily programme.
