Tiny Perfusion Letter #669
Tiny Perfusion Letter
A Day in the Life (of a perfusionist)
I primed a pump today, oh boy
The floor was wet, I had to change my scrubs
And then the case, it got postponed
Well I just had to laugh
Just added another graft
And then somebody screwed it up
Four giant holes behind the aorta
And though the holes were rather small
They had to sew them all
Now they know how much Prolene 4-0 it takes to fill them all
I'd love to w-ea-ea-ea-ea-nnn y-ou-ou-ou-ou o-o-o-o-off....
