ABSTRACT
Nervous Laughter is distilled from the third series of writing competitions run by Radcliffe Medical Press, who appointed me to be both judge and executioner. As in any well-conducted examination, the candidates were known to me only by a number (although perusal of Alimentary, My Dear Doctor and Myocardial Medley, the two previous volumes in this series, enabled me to make a pretty shrewd guess at some identities!).
