Night before X-mas in CMHH - Dr. J.T.Bricker

The night before Christmas at Children’s Memorial Hermann…


'Twas the night before Christmas with the hospital packed
Cardiology fellows were poised to react

Progress notes were recorded with care
even though other services never looked at them there

The PICU team briefly headed to bed
expecting new wheezers to land overhead

Cardiology fellows decked out in scrubs
had listened to each of the little lub-dubs

When outside the window there was such a sound
"Must just be one more LifeFlight inbound"

But update by phone made it quite clear
that Anesthesia and Surgery soon would be here

Across Hermann Park it came lively and quick
a red helicopter with Bill, Mike, and the Brick

More blue babies, new babies, on a LifeFlight ride
some needing new treatments before never tried

To NICU and PICU new patients were brought
"Let's get them all fixed before viruses are caught"

On Henry, on Tharak, on Doshis A and Doshi U,
they can help do stuff that's brand-new

On Julie, Ashish, Nazari, and Claudeen
scanning and checking that everything's seen

Doug, Beth, and Rebecca will get it all done
moving cases on just as a new one’s begun

Our attendings, PICU, surgeons and all
helped make this Christmas Eve a memorable on call

As the excitement calmed down we heard a prediction
that seemed to us all to be more fact than fiction

"Merry Christmas to all, we all believe
even more babies are coming to us New Year's Eve"
