IF DR. SEUSS WROTE AN EPISODE OF ER
Kerry: | Now Mark, I think this ER's great, |
But...there are problems that can't wait! | |
Now Benton's fine, and Carter too, | |
But Ross and Susan just won't do! | |
Now who do you think that we should hire, | |
Since both of them today I'll fire? |
Mark: | Kerry, maybe we should wait and see... |
Kerry: | That's great Mark! I knew you would agree... |
Jerry: | Dr. Weaver? Sorry to interrupt... |
But the paramedics just pulled up. | |
Mark: | Ok, I'm here. What have you got? |
Shep: | This little boy has just been shot! |
His pulse is faint, his breath is weak. | |
We did all we could to stop the leak. | |
Riley: | And this woman here, she has a broken hip... |
Carol: | How did she fall? How did she trip? |
Shep: | The kid's mom was getting in my hair, |
So I shoved her--lightly--down some stairs. | |
Mark: | Benton, Kerry! Take the mom to three! |
Doug and Susan! Come with me! | |
Riley: | But wait, but wait! Oh don't you see? |
We've got some more; one, two, and three. | |
Kerry: | You've got three more? How can this be? |
Explain it, tell it all to me! | |
Riley: | Well, Shep was driving. Really fast. |
A light turned red. Shep hit the gas. | |
We hit a car, it hit two more. | |
Soon the total rose by four. | |
Another bang! Another crash! | |
But we couldn't stay, we had to dash! | |
We grabbed these three but I am sure, | |
The injured totaled sixty score! | |
Carter: | These people really are a mess! |
Their injuries I cannot guess! | |
It makes me sick, my knees are weak, | |
A toilet I must soon go seek... | |
Benton: | It's ok Carter! Stay on your toes! |
It doesn't get worse than this you know! | |
To Trauma four let's take these three. | |
You can do it, come with me! | |
Green: | Ok, let's get this boy on the table. |
To save his life if we are able! | |
Haleh: | Dr. Green! This boy is cyanotic! |
I can't find a pulse...oh, wait I've got it! | |
But it is weak! Oh, woe is us! | |
Doug: | Give him saline! IV push! |
CBC, chem 7, stat! | |
We will save him, bet on that! | |
Oh no, he's showing poor perfusion! | |
Lydia, start a blood tranfusion! | |
Lydia: | But Dr. Ross, I hate to say. |
The blood bank didn't come today! | |
We're out of blood, I can't believe! | |
Doug: | Here, use mine! (rolls up his sleeve) |
Kerry: | We need some help! There's been a crash! |
Someone's heart stopped with a flash! | |
But Dr. Benton saved the day, | |
And Carter's going to be ok. | |
Susan: | What can I do, where can I go? |
I'm not incompetent you know! | |
I deserve a chance and with good reason, | |
I only killed one guy last season! | |
Chloe: | Hey, Suze? Look! It's me... |
I doing great...oh, can't you see? | |
I'm back on drugs and feeling woozy, | |
Can you take care of little Susie? | |
Susan: | Not now Chloe! I'm in a panic! |
Kerry: | Get Susan out, she can't handle it! |
Mark: | It's fine! It's done, the kid's ok. |
We're sending him up on his way. | |
To surgery he's off to go, | |
They must sew up that bullet hole. | |
But Dr. Ross, he's out of sorts... | |
We had to take a dozen quarts. | |
Benton: | Ok, we're done. I did it all. |
I used a double breasted suture saw. | |
I closed them up, I fixed their ills. | |
I patched their wounds, I gave them pills. | |
I have their livers in this sack. | |
I did it all, behind my back. | |
I need more patients, give me more! | |
I just cured three, now give me four! | |
Carter: | What happened? Did I miss it all? |
I saw some blood. I took a fall. | |
But it doesn't matter, we saved the day! | |
Carol: | Get ready! There's more on the way! |
