Doctors' Notes Spring Concert 2011 4 of 6

Bringing you the med school version of Africa, as well as Party in the USA.

"Acid-Base" to the tune of Africa by Toto

I wonder what's on T.V. tonight
Then I realize I had better sit down and study physiology.
My tablet provides a soft, dim light
To illuminate my reams of paper, pens, and book of Costanzo-ology.
I play the podcasts along the way,
Hoping to find some old forgotten words and keep Blanco's company.
He whispered to me as if to say, "What now, boy? This kee-dy is not perfused!!"

CHORUS:
It's gonna take some time to understand you.
And if I don't, I'll crash my patient, and I will get sued.
I really hate to study ACID-BASE!
Gonna take some time to figure Henderson-Hasselbach...

Cannot seem to titrate this just right.
Is my patient compensating for his acidemia?
Bicarb is low and sugar's high
And now I must remember what the heck is Winter's Formula?
I seek to save this poor man's life, if I knew just what to infuse!

CHORUS
(instrumental break)

"MUDPILES, boy! You'll never lose!"

It's gonna take some time to understand you.
And if I don't, I'll crash my patient, and I will get sued.
I really hate to study ACID-BASE! I really hate to study ACID-BASE!
I really hate to study ACID-BASE! I really hate to study ACID-BASE!
I really hate to study ACID-BASE!
Gonna take some time to figure Henderson-Hasselbach...
