The General Lyrics

Here comes Dr Chung with his orders in line

Strict as a hammer steady as time

3 am labs like clockwork they're drawn

4 am weights—by sunrise he's gone

He's The General yeah Dr Chung in command

Read every monitor line just as he planned

Left to right top to bottom precise to the core

And If you go out of order…

He will make you start all over

Colace or iron you better ask twice

Take one wrong step and you'll pay the price

Forget IV Tylenol he won't abide

To him it's poison running rivers inside

He's The General yeah Dr Chung in command

Read every monitor line just as he planned

Left to right top to bottom precise to the core

And If you go out of order…

He will make you start all over

Calcium gluconate got it locked and loaded

Just replace the Mag! No need for it to be noted

Non-formulary orders lean and mean

Less fluid more focus he runs a machine

Intensivists pause hospitalists freeze

No changes allowed unless he agrees

His word is law his path is clear

In his OR there's no room for fear

He's The General yeah Dr Chung in command

Read every monitor line just as he planned

Left to right top to bottom precise to the core

And If you go out of order…

He will make you start all over

From patients to nurses they all fall in line

The General's orders: they toe the line

With a razor-sharp focus he leads the fight

Every dawn rising to make things right
