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?

I've always wanting to open a Nursing Home called "Knockin on Heaven's Door"

I'm feeling cynical tonight. One of the guys on night shift always sings this line from some redneck song, goes something like:

"Up against the wall, redneck mothers. Mother that I never had before."

When we're drowning in pts and ambulances he starts singing this. Kind of tells us all the stuff is hitting the fan.

"Superfreak" by Rick James is a good one for our weirder clientele and their perineal symptoms.
