Tiny Perfusion Letter #717

Tiny Perfusion Letter

We have another song… (we can’t help it…😬)

Sorry, not sorry

For added effect, stick a 36F venous cannula down your throat and try to say “Kuala Lumpur is cool” x 5…

Here we go…

The pump is going on full flow. The repair is done, the patient is warm

It's warm, So warm

The clamp is ready to come off. Just one more thing, they want a hot shot

So hot, Mmm, so hot

They say "Hold on, we’re almost done” The surgeon doesn’t care if you’re ready or not

They look at the student and that's not a look for love. “Well, give me the shot!”

Woah, we're halfway there! Woah-oh, another 250!

Turn on the knob, and we'll make it, I swear! Woah-oh, another 250!

The student’s got the knob in their hands. The pressure is down, when it used to be up

It’s tough, Ooh, it's tough

Student dreams of runnin' away. When they cry in the night, someone whispers

"Hey, it's okay… Someday"

They say "Hold on, we’re almost done”. The pressure’s still down, and the epi is gone

They look at the student and that is a lot for stress. “Continue the shot!”

Woah, we're halfway there. Woah-oh, another 250

Turn on the knob, and we'll make it, I swear. Woah-oh, another 250
