Default Emergency Medicine Haikus for all to enjoy


SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)
For some reason, hours of rounds and chasing K and Mag all day really make me appreciate EM so much more.

Plus we have this really terrible order entry system that keeps eating my labs.

So I put together this haiku:

Damn this Medicine!
The hours spent chasing vapors -
I long for the Pit.

Cool poem! For everyones edification, Haiku is one of the most important form of traditional japanese poetry. Haiku is, today, a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables.

Switch your 2nd and 3rd lines around and you got a winner.

I'm on Peds ER this month, in the non-urgent area, so here's one...

Check my rash, my throat.
Let the med student do it.
Not sick anyway.

Default Here are my haikus...

ER
God damn drug seeker
All he wants is percocet
There's no kidney stone

Internal Medicine
Elderly train wreck
Nursing home is an option
She is ninety-five

Pediatrics
Love that Zithromax
Treat the parent not the child
He has a virus

Psych
He has ADD
Give him some amphetamines
Teacher is happy

Surgery
Abdominal pain
Johnny has decreased bowel sounds
Let's operate now

OB/GYN
I have low back pain
That is part of pregnancy
Stat c-section now

Foreign medical schools
Med school is abroad
Sacrifice is four years long
Better pass your boards

Radiology
Normal x-Ray film
But cannot rule out disease
Suggest can scan now


Enjoy :-)
