Song lyrics that remind you of nursing...

Nurses Humor

Published

Every so often I'll hear lyrics on songs on the radio that remind me of nursing... Here's a couple of examples I've heard on the radio recently, unfortunately I can't remember who sings either of 'em...:monkeydance:

"I am barely breathing, and I can't find the air..."

"I have become, comfortably numb..."

Anyone got any more?

Line from Jumper-Third Eye Blind

Now he's on the table, and he's gonna code, and I don't think anyone knows, what they are doing here.

Line from Flagpole Sitta-Chiodos

Been around the world to see that only stupid people are breeding" Let's face if it weren't for stupid people we might not all have jobs. To quote Ron White, "you can't fix stupid"

Your love is like bad medice- Bon Jovi

All the lyrics but particularly

"I don't need no needle to be giving me a thrill

And I don't need no anesthesia or a nurse to bring a pill

I got a dirty down addiction that doesn't leave a track

I got a jolt for your affection like a monkey on my back

There ain't no paramedic gonna save this heart attack"

"I need a respirator 'cause I'm running out of breath

You're an all night generator wrapped in stockings and a dress

When you find your medicine you take what you can get

'Cause if there's something better baby, well, they haven't found it yet"

Just like a pill- Pink

"I can't stay on your life support, there's a

shortage in the switch,

I can't stay on your morphine, cuz its making me

itch

I said I tried to call the nurse again but shes

being a little *****,

I think I'll get outta here, where I can"

Just a few little ditties I thought of quick

A critical care nurse I know claims her theme song is "Flirting with Disaster" by Molly Hatchet. :D

This is my first post. I am BIG on ETHICS.

A Doc I know very well let his hair down in an unguarded moment. He said, "Have you ever noticed a sign on the lawn of a doc that said, "PHYSICIAN and SURGEON?". I wonder if he/she is schizophrenic. Is he a physician or surgeon? This led to the following......

Surgeons do everything but know nothing.

Internists know everything but do nothing......

Psychiatrists know nothing and do nothing....

Pathologists know everything and do everything......
