To see more reviews check out MI Book Reviews。I got an ARC of this book。Yet another book I did not really look at before I requested an ARC。 I saw a comic creator that I like and that was enough for me。 This is not the usual comics that The Awkward Yeti does。 Instead these are illustrated versions of true weird medical stories that people submitted。 So if you like things like Untold Stories of the ER， but instead of actors you have the lovable organs from The Awkward Yeti reenacting the stories， To see more reviews check out MI Book Reviews。I got an ARC of this book。Yet another book I did not really look at before I requested an ARC。 I saw a comic creator that I like and that was enough for me。 This is not the usual comics that The Awkward Yeti does。 Instead these are illustrated versions of true weird medical stories that people submitted。 So if you like things like Untold Stories of the ER， but instead of actors you have the lovable organs from The Awkward Yeti reenacting the stories， this is for you。It took me a while to warm up to the book。 It was about a hundred pages in before I started to actually enjoy what I was reading。 At about a hundred pages， my partner had arrived in my house and I was reading the book out lout to him。 That increased the joy and the humor of it。 So if you find this to not be as enjoyable as the other Awkward Yeti comics， you aren’t alone。 Try reading them out loud。 Though I doubt that every story could have been improved my my （nonexistent） theater skills。Overall， the book was not what I wanted and it was only half enjoyable。 This is not the Awkward Yeti that I love and it was disappointing。 The jokes were eh。 About half the stories were actually interesting， but I think that varied because the creator used the words of the people who submitted the stories。 There was a range of story telling skills submitted。 So overall， eh。 I still love the Awkward Yeti but this was just eh。 。。。more

I love The Awkward Yeti and when I saw that this one was at a cheap price， I got it immediately。 I wasn't disappointed！These are nothing like the comics that he makes on Instagram because these are true。 It's fun to see the weird medical problems that people faced， how they came to be， and how they were tackled。 I felt a leeeeetle bored at one point， but it was fun overall and I'd recommend this for a quick read。 I love The Awkward Yeti and when I saw that this one was at a cheap price， I got it immediately。 I wasn't disappointed！These are nothing like the comics that he makes on Instagram because these are true。 It's fun to see the weird medical problems that people faced， how they came to be， and how they were tackled。 I felt a leeeeetle bored at one point， but it was fun overall and I'd recommend this for a quick read。 。。。more

Very interesting！ Some of these stories could be in the Medical Mysteries column in the New York Times （ the woman who had seven spleens） but some of them were stories that wouldn't be as interesting if they hadn't been told and illustrated by the author。 （ Guy who climbed an old rope ） Hopefully he will do more of these！ Very interesting！ Some of these stories could be in the Medical Mysteries column in the New York Times （ the woman who had seven spleens） but some of them were stories that wouldn't be as interesting if they hadn't been told and illustrated by the author。 （ Guy who climbed an old rope ） Hopefully he will do more of these！ 。。。more

Not my favorite from Seluk， but still great。

Cute and laugh out loud funny at times， I enjoyed the graphics that accommodate the true stories。 Some were certainly more bizarre than others。 I admittedly bought it partly to support the artist but partly because I thought there would be more bowel-related stories。 :D

Reader-submitted medical oddity stories told with the characteristic silly humor of the “Heart & Brain” comics。 A couple of laugh-out-loud chapters。 Amusing and educational throughout。

You cringe。 You laugh。 You want to cry with everything some people have been through。 But it gives you some idea of how your body can destroy you from the inside out （or how people's stupidity can destroy themselves， or at least try）。 You cringe。 You laugh。 You want to cry with everything some people have been through。 But it gives you some idea of how your body can destroy you from the inside out （or how people's stupidity can destroy themselves， or at least try）。 。。。more

I had read some of these online， but there were some new ones。 A few were quite humorous。 Nice， quick read。

This story's about true medical stories。 I like this story because the doctor is very funny and clumsy 😂😂。 My favorite part is when the Doctor was like I CONCUR TO THE WEIRDNESS 。 Yes I would recommend this story。 This story's about true medical stories。 I like this story because the doctor is very funny and clumsy 😂😂。 My favorite part is when the Doctor was like I CONCUR TO THE WEIRDNESS 。 Yes I would recommend this story。 。。。more

Such a fun， quick read you could get through in one sitting。 Would be great for a young reader。The author illustrated people's submitted （comical） medical stories， and the result is funny and not at all morbid。 I love that he gave a distinct personality to each organ as they appear over and over。 Such a fun， quick read you could get through in one sitting。 Would be great for a young reader。The author illustrated people's submitted （comical） medical stories， and the result is funny and not at all morbid。 I love that he gave a distinct personality to each organ as they appear over and over。 。。。more

I'm a huge fan of The Awkward Yeti。 These stories were short and hysterical。 Great for fans of weird medical stories， comics about organs， and the cartoonist （Nick Seluk）。 I'm a huge fan of The Awkward Yeti。 These stories were short and hysterical。 Great for fans of weird medical stories， comics about organs， and the cartoonist （Nick Seluk）。 。。。more

Dont read before bed and a couple stories just not for younger audience。 Other than that a perfectly interesting graphic novel。 :）

Seemed a little disjointed due to the various narration styles。 Graphic artwork in places and not enough of the usual cast and crew for me to really enjoy it。 Almost gave it up halfway。

Un buen libro con historias que suceden en consultas o en la ER。 Algunas dan risa， otras sorprenden de saber cómo es que pudieron llegar a pasar。 Pero， siento que le falta un poco más del carisma que se presenta en los comics de Heart and Brain。 Aun así， me parece divertido e interesante

So much bodily fluid。 Horrifying and hilarious。 Rare those belong in the same sentence。 Well done， Awkward Yeti！

I love the Awkward Yeti comics and I really enjoyed this book of illustrated bizarre， yet true， health stories。 It was a quick read， since it's all comics， but it was so interesting and the stories had an element of humor。 Will definitely read this one again！ I love the Awkward Yeti comics and I really enjoyed this book of illustrated bizarre， yet true， health stories。 It was a quick read， since it's all comics， but it was so interesting and the stories had an element of humor。 Will definitely read this one again！ 。。。more

I laughed the whole way through this！ So cute！！ As a medical professional who received this as a gift， I can confidently say that it makes a great gift for the nurse， doctor or other medical person in your life。

Really quick read and I enjoyed it， as always！ Loved the medical stories and bleeped out swear words。 I miss Heart and Brain though！

Finally got this one from my local library after what felt like forever！ I loved it！ I've always liked weird but true medical things， and these little bite sized stories illustrated with all of my favorite Awkward Yeti organs was amazing！ Finally got this one from my local library after what felt like forever！ I loved it！ I've always liked weird but true medical things， and these little bite sized stories illustrated with all of my favorite Awkward Yeti organs was amazing！ 。。。more
