BAG SQUEEZERS


BAG SQUEEZERS



The layman in hospital
Who do they trust?
Why, the nurses of course
And a good surgeon’s a must.
But who is that
Who just saved your wife?
She’d had a cardiac arrest
And they brought her back to life.
Who’s that woman
Treating your Dad on Intensive care?
The one relieving his pain
As he’s lay ventilated there.
It’s the one who, in the operating theatre
Sends you off to sleep,
The one you don’t think is a doctor,
It’s the Anaesthetist
The Physician with your life to keep.
So
If you think they’re just
 Bag squeezers,
Then remember this
A surgeon is just a man
With a knife and some tweezers.

Patient “Your life in their hands”
Surgeon “Their Knife in your glands”
Anaesthetist “No pain, your gain”

Phil Hall  May 2013
