Inexperienced

 

What nonsense! This decision
To assign to the neophyte,
Be the Bronchoscopy nurse
Like an untrained boxer in a fight,
Who has had no previous training
What’s there to know? Just make a fist,
Well, the Doctor surely noticed
And he was properly pissed.

I heard about the plan yesterday
When Ma Boss made that dumb decision,
And she wasn’t even here today
To witness the failure of her vision,
Her favorite little acolyte 
Won’t speak up to say, “Not me,
I know that I’m not qualified
I’ve never done it, can’t you see?”

What a team they make, these two
Like mother and son,
The two of them are dangerous
When all is said and done,
She ignores his weakness
And he says “yes” to everything,
Boldly going where he should not
While mother coos and sings.

When I arrived the Doctor was fuming
And spoke his pretty piece,
I totally agreed with him
About the boiling grease,
Then I volunteered my services
For the next bronchoscopy,
An expert for that procedure
Of course, that would be me.

Advanced airway skills?; check
Expert cardiac of course,
Highly trained in procedural sedation
I could anesthetize a horse,
Code-Blue master of renown
A crash and burn magician,
Or just assign the newbie nurse?
Ya, that’s our public mission.

Well, there were no complications
At Bronchoscopy number one,
But I’m sure if that had happened
Mother would still have coddled her son.
