In the midst of his own battle with prostate cancer, Dr. David Goldberg, a family physician and orthopedic surgical assistant from Kelowna, BC, has discovered a powerful prescription for better health: laughter. His new self-published book, Jokes You’ll Love to Tell, combines his experience as a doctor and cancer patient, offering readers a collection of lighthearted jokes that not only entertain but also serve as a reminder of the importance of humor in the healing process.
Diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2023, Dr. Goldberg was motivated to write the book while undergoing treatment. “Prostate cancer is nothing to laugh about, but laughter may make it easier to manage,” he explains. “My experience as a physician, and recently my journey through diagnosis and treatment, has taught me that humor is an essential part of healing—both mentally and physically. It lightens the load and helps to maintain a positive outlook.”
As an orthopedic surgical assistant, Dr. Goldberg’s comedic journey began during surgical downtime, where he started telling jokes to lighten the mood among the surgical team. His humor became so popular that he began collecting and refining his best jokes, which are now compiled in Jokes You’ll Love to Tell.
The book is available for purchase at Indigo, independent bookstores, and online through Amazon. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Prostate Cancer Foundation Canada, supporting research and education about prostate cancer.
Dr. Goldberg, a strong advocate for early detection, credits his own survival to routine blood testing and encourages all men to adhere to a regular testing schedule. “My early diagnosis was possible because I kept up with my health checks,” he says. “I want to raise awareness about the importance of routine testing and provide some humor along the way.”
