Twas' the night before Christmas

[almihu]

Twas' the night before Christmas, and in Unit 10

The gears were a' grinding... here we go again!

Dave was emailing "Stop trashing our fleet!"

And crew captains paroled, keeping paperwork neat.

The night crews were hiding and taking a nap

And old daddy Kim snored still wearing his cap.

While Mark and Joe made a nurse coffee run

Lee and the new guy read strips just for fun.

When over on Carr Lane there arose such a clatter

Sulphur PD rushed to see what was the matter.

Away to the milk truck we flew like a flash,

Tore up the unit and spilled coke on the dash.

When upon arrival, what should we hear

But a staggering man saying "I only had one beer!"

We called for the crew that would be most stern,

Lights flashing and wailing... here come Nora and Vern.

In less that 8 minutes, so rapid they came

My doctor's in Houston, as pills he did name

Now Depakote, Now Demerol, now Percocet and Vicodin

On Soma, on Xanax on Lorcet and drinkin'

I'm out of my pain pills is what he does call.

"Then get up and walk and try not to fall!"

This pt was chubby and not lookin too svelt

And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself.

A wink of his eye and with stumbling tread

He tripped over some beer cans and fell on his head

He layed on the ground not moving or blinking

A code has occurred, is what I began thinking

We palpated his carotid to feel for some thumping

When on came a seizure and he started jumping.

He opened one eye to gage our reaction

Because he was causing a creative distraction.

And I heard him comment as I closed the back door,

"Ya'll aren't as nice as the crew that came before!"

We took him to triage, then walked out of sight.

Merry Christmas, Cal Cam... and have a safe night!

That is a new one - I think I'll use it at the next staff party. My only question is: who gets the credit for the artistic skill? Merry Christmas anyways.
