Abstract
A good word put in for someone during a medical consultation can alleviate the stress generated by the contact with the clinic. The superlative of "good word" in these situations could be a humorous phrase of the physician during the consultation, which can cause a cognitive shift in the patient's perception of her/his situation. This change of perspective will diminish the anxiety generated by the disease, can rebuild optimism and establish a good doctor-patient relationship, based on hope and collaboration. This paper analyzes the elements of humour and the neurological mechanisms involved in the emergence of mirth. The dosage of this genuine alternative medication is discussed based on a primer to quantum humor dynamics, observing the similarity between the behaviour of quantum mechanic's elementary particles with the quanta of humour called hilarion. Finally, laughter's psychological and physiological benefits are discussed, obtained through changes in circulation, respiration, muscular tonus and endorphin release.
