Two poems too good not to re-post. FROM MABEL ADAMS, 2009 with permission: From a skit in MT school, Oregon 1979 To the tune of "My Favorite Things": Red cells and white cells and non-squamous ep cells, Broad casts and fine casts and triphospate crystals, Thick strands of mucus, bacteria and yeast, These are a few of my sediment things From BRENDA HUTSON in 2009 (without permission :bonk:but I hope you wont mind Brenda) twas the night before christmas blood bank version Twas the Night Before Christmas and all through the Lab, Not a John Doe was Stirring, not even a Stab The Units were Hung in the Refrig. with Care, In Hopes that a Transplant, Soon would be There. The Platelets were Nestled all Snug on the Rotator, In Hopes that more Platelets would Join them there Later. Pam in her Lab Coat and Sung in her Glasses, Were Trying to Avoid any Vaporous Gasses! When up from the Window Arose Such a Clatter, Jean Sprang from her Chair and said, “Hey, what’s the Matter?†Away to the Window she Flew with a Flash, Logged into the Computer and Hoped it wouldn’t Crash! And what to our Wondering Eyes did we Catch? But a STAT Heart Transplant with a 12 Unit Crossmatch! With a Little Old Transporter so Lively and Quick, We Knew at Once that the Patient was Sick (boy are we quick)! More Rapid than Eagles the Antibodies Came, I Whistled and Shouted and Called them by Name. Now Duffy, Now Lewis, Now Auto, Now Kell, On Lutheran, On Cellano, On Rh, On Vel! As I Read all my Tubes, I Started to Call, Now Shake Away, Prewarm Away, Vortex away All!!
