Song lyrics that remind you of nursing...

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?

You're all gonna think I'm nuts for this one...

Whenever I'm gowning up to go check on a patient in respiratory isolation, or to do a dressing change on a patient with MRSA in the wound or whatever scenario:uhoh21:, I always get the following commercial going through my head ...

There ain't no bugs on me, there ain't no bugs on me, there may be bugs on some of you mugs, but there ain't no bugs on me :lol2:

"Some kind of wonderful" (that's what nurses are haha) and in the same song "Can I get a witness?" (to wasting a narcotic). This is fun! I think that is Grand Funk.
