Hospitalists! (‘Popular’ Parody From Wicked)

March 14, 2013 by 8 Comments

And don’t miss the Original!

Short list of things to do when one moves to Las Vegas:

Josh.0 OFF THE CHAIN!1. Treat gambling addiction with paradoxical chronic immersion therapy. Always bet on black! (and lose 50% of the time)

2. Eat at epic buffets at least twice daily. Obtain gastric bypass from one of several world-renowned local bariatric surgeons. Subsequently suffer from dumping syndrome.

3. Create fierce musical parody of the amazingly catchy tune “Popular” from the amazingly catchy musical “Wicked” (which can only be watched in it’s full glory at the brand new Smith Center for the Performing Arts in sunny Downtown Vegas)!

Yes, dear friends, one out of three ain’t bad. And I’m certainly working on the other two.

LaLaLaZDoggMD Industries is proud to collaborate with the Society for Hospital Medicine (SHM) to promote their epic national conference May 16-19 just outside of Washington D.C.! Sweet hotel, big party, and…oh yeah, CME and whatnot.

Mad love to UMC Hospital right here in Downtown Vegas for letting us shoot on their wards and hijack their off-duty nurses and administrators.

And super props to Josh.0 and our camera crew:

Popular Hospitalists!

Lyrics for Hospitalists! (A Parody of “Popular” From The Musical Wicked):

(DOWNLOAD SONG HERE!)

Whenever I see doctors less up to date than I
(And let’s face it, even Up To Date’s less up to date than I)
I fly them to a place where they can see
That they are not alone in this—drug seekers, pompous specialists
I know, I know, those calls from the ED
But even in your case…though it’s the toughest case I’ve yet to face
Don’t worry, you just need some company
And CME…at HM13, you will see…
Hospitalists!
They’re all about Hospitalists
And though it’s a made up word (thank you Bob Wachter)
It’s absurdly cool to be
With others who love PE’s, sepsis, GI bleeds 
All the crap we’re apt to see cause we’re
Hospitalists!
We need other hospitalists
To help us weigh evidence
Both for and against
Protocols we’re sure to use
At SHM, they do much more than just collect dues…
 
They got the cure for information paralysis
Think of it as intellectual dialysis
Why slog through reams and reams of metaanalysis?
They’re your adviser
There’s nobody wiser
Not when it comes to…
Hospitalists!
This conference is not to be missed
Cause with their assist you’ll be
Networking freely
So your career will never ever stall…the gist 
Is HM13 helps you be a better hospital…ist!
La la la la
Way more infectious than C. diff
 
When I see these pompous MDs
Orthopods in Jags and Bentleys
I’m glad there’s somewhere just for us
Where we can celebrate our length of stays
Reduce bounce backs and med mistake rates
Who’s driving quality, Ortho?!? Don’t make me laugh!
It’s the Hospitalists!
Blowin’ up like a hemorrhagic cyst
Resistance is futile so
Don’t ya miss the show
This meeting’s really off the chain
And unlike on the unit, JCAHO won’t be butting in…
La la la la
They keep it real at HM 13!
