Product Description
Is There a Doctor in the House?
Say you’re at a party. You’ve had a martini or three, and you mingle through the crowd, wondering how long you need to stay before going out for pizza. Suddenly you’re introduced to someone new, Dr. Nice Tomeetya. You forget the pizza. Now is the perfect time to bring up all those strange questions you’d like to ask during an office visit with your own doctor but haven’t had the guts (or more likely the time) to do so. You’re filled with liquid courage . . . now is your chance! If you’ve ever wanted to ask a doctor . . .
•How do people in wheelchairs have sex?
•Why do I get a killer headache when I suck down my milkshake too fast?
•Can I lose my contact lens inside my head forever?
•Why does asparagus make my pee smell?
•Why do old people grow hair on their ears?
•Is the old adage “beer before liquor, never sicker, liquor before beer . . .” really true?
. . . then Why Do Men Have Nipples? is the book for you.
Compiled by Billy Goldberg, an emergency medicine physician, and Mark Leyner, bestselling author and well-known satirist, Why Do Men Have Nipples? offers real factual and really funny answers to some of the big questions about the oddities of our bodies.

 White Elephant January 8, 2010

I work with a group of individuals who share a superb sense of humor. Gave this book for our white elephant exchange at the holidays. There were quite a few laughs on the title and premise, but later my co-worker admitted how much fun the book was - my sediments exactly! Great coffee table (and better yet bathroom) book.

Entertaining book with answers to some odd medical questions. But they never really answer the title question...
 Answers a lot of weird medical questions December 24, 2009
An Historian (Houston)
Fairly interesting, sometimes funny but informative. Scope is narrow, the authors even admit this. This book discusses some of the most unique questions about the body as well as urban legends that have accumulated over the years. This topic is not as extensive and some people like to think.
 annoying December 1, 2009
Caraculiambro (La Mancha and environs)
Yet another one of those "wacky questions with sober, scientific answers"-type books. This one's a little different because it concerns mainly medical questions concerning the human body, especially those dealing with waste and the privates.
This one, though, is left of the median: about 20% of the book is an annoying dialogue between the two authors, largely about what strategy they should employ in writing the book. This was completely uninteresting and marred the book. In fact, far fewer questions were answered than could have been since so much space was taken up with this drivel.
Some Answers to Odd Questions October 20, 2009

Nobody is going to write their dissertation based on the information in this book. At least, we should all hope we never see a doctor that used this plan. In some cases, the authors take time to answer questions about medical or anatomical oddities. Other times, they prefer to write a witty remark. Including the "instant messaging" between authors, there is a lot of fluff in this book. Still, it is an amusing and educational read.
The book is most suited to be a coffee table book or perhaps toilet reading. A reader probably should not try to read this book in only a few sittings. It is best digested a little at a time. I have not fact checked the statements in this book for validity, though I suspect others have. Even if there are flaws, I suspect few people would walk away from this book without learning something.
