To the tune of YMCA by Village People
Patients – don’t expect to get well
If the doctors don’t use alcohol gel
Just avoid them when your immune system’s low
‘Cos the beds are far too dirty
Go to hospital if you dare
You might end up in intensive care
Penicillin doesn’t work any more
‘Cos the wards are far too dirty
It’s no fun to get M.R.S.A.
It’s no fun to get M.R.S.A.
Or catch c. difficile from your hospital meal
And then end up even more ill
It’s no fun to get M.R.S.A.
It’s no fun to get M.R.S.A.
There’s that feeling of dread in your hospital bed
That you’ll catch it and end up dead
On reflection, it seems a bit obvious but I don't recall seeing it done before. It needs another verse and then when it's in the news again I'll punt it at the Treason Show.
