I don’t know how many of you out there are Discovery Channel viewers, but if the TV is on around here it’s typically tuned in to one of the excellent programs on that channel.
Lately they’ve embarked on their latest advertising blitz which features a song they’re calling “boom de ah da,” or “ the world is just awesome. “
I figured it’s high time for a respiratory therapy version of the song. So without further ado, I present my own version, based on this ad :
(Two respiratory therapists are standing at the head of the bed as a resident intubates a patient. One is watching as the resident positions the laryngoscope and visualizes the cords; the other is patiently holding an ambu-bag and a CO2 detector. A ventilator looms in the background as the resident carefully slides the tube through the cords.)
RT One: It never gets old, does it?
RT Two: Nope.
RT One: Kind of makes you want to…break into song?
RT Two: Yep.
(Singing 
I love the airways,
I love when sputum flies!
I love the bronch lab,
I love alveoli!
I love the ICU,
And all the sights and sounds!
(Boom de ah da boom de ah da
Boom de ah da boom de ah da
Boom de ah da boom de ah da
Boom de ah da boom de ah da)
I love the lungers,
I love the RSV!
I love the vent alarms,
I love the PFT’s!
I love the RTs,
And all the breathy things!
(Boom de ah da boom de ah da
Boom de ah da boom de ah da
Boom de ah da boom de ah da
Boom de ah da boom de ah da)
I love balloon pumps,
I love the ABGs!
I love to BiPAP,
I love breathing machines!
I love my breathing,
It’s such an awesome thing!
(Boom de ah da boom de ah da
Boom de ah da boom de ah da
Boom de ah da boom de ah da
Boom de ah da boom de ah da)
…..
I know, I know. I’m terminally nerdy. But I found myself singing this in the shower this morning and I just had to put it out there. Anybody want to shoot a video on this?
