Finally, a music video dedicated to everyone in healthcare working those night shifts.

I packed my bag last night pre-call

Zero sleep till 9am

And I’ll probably be fiiired or sued by then

I miss my bed so much, I miss my life

It’s lonely working nights

On such a thankless shift
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time

Till JCAHO swings around again to find

I’m not compliant with their shit at all

Oh no no no, cuz I’m a doctor, man

Doctor, man, working every night to pay my loans

 

And I think it’s gonna be a long long night

Till day shift takes report again to find

Bed 5 ain’t stable like they said at all

Oh no no no, I’m a doctor, man

Doctor, man, missing every single game of thrones

 

Nights ain’t a quiet place when the moon is full

In fact it’s total hell

But there’s no administrators…in your grill

And those leaf blowers, I don’t understand

They wake me up 5 days a week

A doctor, man…a Doctor, MAN

 

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time

Till my circadian rhythm aligns

Can’t toss my pager out or smash my phone

Oh no no no, cuz I’m a doctor, man

Doctor, man, clicking every night to bill my codes

 

And I think it’s gonna be a long long life

Till all this pays off and I can retire

I lease a C class and I rent my home

Oh no no no, cuz I’m a doctor, man

Doctor man, working every night to pay my loans
And I think it’s gonna take a long long time…

(Repeat)
