The Best Medicine
Here's an interesting idea. This legal site that's trying to educate people about mesothelioma has tried to make the site more interesting by including medical humour and information about bizarre diseases (like WALKING CORPSE SYNDROME or BLUE SKIN DISORDER). Personally, I think it's a great idea. I would love it if the Lupus Foundation—and the other medical sites I visit frequently—were to use this approach.
They've got cartoons:
And jokes:
I think it would be even better if the humour could be more focused on the disease in question, but there probably aren't a whole lot of jokes and cartoons about mesothelioma. Go figure.

And jokes:
A young doctor had moved into a small town and was setting up a new practice. He had a new sign painted and hung it in front of his office, proclaiming his specialties:
"Homosexuals & Hemorrhoids"
The town fathers were greatly upset with the sign and asked him please to change it. The Doctor was eager to please, so he put up a new sign:
"Queers & Rears"
The town fathers were really fuming about that one, so they demanded that the Doctor come up with a decent sign that would not offend the townspeople. So the Doctor finally came up with an acceptable sign:
"Odds & Ends"
I think it would be even better if the humour could be more focused on the disease in question, but there probably aren't a whole lot of jokes and cartoons about mesothelioma. Go figure.
