Chicken Pox, Vioxx and Goldilocks - The Song

Healthcare Healthcare Everywhere                     by Pat Jonas, MD

Chicken Pox, Vioxx and Goldilocks- Healthcare Just for you

A shot, a drug and a fairy tale, it’s just like a zoo

And if you have insurance, you won’t pay the bill

Just go into CVS, you can get your fill

CHORUS:

     Healthcare, healthcare everywhere, more than what we need

     Cat scans, ER’s, MRI’s, Chemo used like tea

     More is better, “Let’s be sure”, “You’re a friend of mine.”

     Let me see your wrist ID to bill you one more time.

Barcode reader in my hand leads to good health care

Patients lying in the bed will notice that I’m there

“Yes! A nurse someone who cares, perhaps I won’t be killed”

“OK, I can hear your cares, after you’ve been billed”

Family Doctor, what is that? Someone we don’t need.

ER, that’s the place to go when I start to bleed

Just bill my insurance, please, for more and more health care

Co-pay’s all I need to pay for everything that’s there.

I recently gave a talk titled "Chicken Pox, Vioxx and Goldilocks:  Avoiding Avoidable Care" at the Institute of Holistic Leadership Annual Symposium (see previous blog post with that title).  Included was this song which we sang together.  Just a spoof on some aspects of healthcare.  The tune is similar to the Mr. Clean song (but not quite).  Enjoy.
