Dr. Carolle Jean-Murat, MD, was born into a family of shamans in Haiti. As a child, she was kicked out of Catholic school when the administration found out that her grandfather was a famous voodoo healer. That bigotry made her physically sick, and no one could cure her-except her grandfather.
His healing expertise and calm strength inspired Carolle, but he told her that her path would be different from his: she would become a healer by attending medical school. And she did.
As she studied to be a doctor in Mexico, Jamaica, and the United States and then practiced as an obstetrician, gynecologist, and a primary care specialist in San Diego, Dr. Carolle never lost her sense of humor. Wherever she traveled, she recorded funny anecdotes in her journal to remind her of where she'd been, what she'd learned along the way, and the surprises that had given her a laugh.
Now, in Funny Bones, Dr. Carolle shares over forty years' worth of amusing and heartwarming true stories. With tales about first kisses, nipple piercing, and disco songs in the operating room, Dr. Carolle offers living proof that even people in serious professions can use humor to cope with the challenges life gives them.
