A filk of Drunken Sailor from a medical student's boyfriend
One day, my girlfriend, who is in medical school, was discussing her surgery rotation with her mother, a doctor. She asked the following question to which I have set to the tune of "What do you do with a drunken sailor?":

Chorus:
What do you do with a post-op patient?
What do you do with a post-op patient?
What do you do with a post-op patient,
Early in the morning?

Wake him repeatedly from his slumber
Wake him repeatedly from his slumber
Wake him repeatedly from his slumber
Early in the morning

Chorus

Measure his heart rate and blood pressure
Measure his heart rate and blood pressure
Measure his heart rate and blood pressure
Early in the morning

Chorus

Ask him about his bowel movements
Ask him about his bowel movements
Ask him about his bowel movements
Early in the morning

Chorus

Be sure he's checked on three times over
Be sure he's checked on three times over
Be sure he's checked on three times over
Early in the morning
