Closing Keynote: David Glickman
A Dose Of Healthcare Humor
Open your mouth and say "Ha!" You’ve never seen a funnier way of looking at Healthcare Finance, Regulations, Technology, HIPAA, Patient Relations, Clinicians, Healthcare Reform, the Pharmaceutical Industry, Joint Commission, CMS, and much more! “A Dose of Healthcare Humor” is designed to positively address situations and frustrations that the typical healthcare professional deals with in his or her job—in an incredibly entertaining way. “A Dose of Healthcare Humor” is not so much a typical general session ‘speech’ as it is a full-blown high-energy one-man show. It’s got observational humor, funny visuals & props, hilarious song parodies, and a big “rock and roll” finish! It’s non-offensive, non-invasive humor——both clean and clever. David Glickman puts the med in comedy and the Comedy in Medicine!
