Hernia symposium 2011
Help me doctor, will you please
My hernia is hanging down to my knees
God, at the horror I stare
Surgery! This man needs a prayer
Patient selection, patient selection, the words ring in my mind
Your career is taking off, protect your behind
Don’t be a hero and play with a scope
The consequences are grim, there is little hope
Leave such cases to the big boys, let them play
With component dissections, sandwiches or mesh in lays
Ventral hernias are no piece of cake
They need a lot of expertise to make or break
In this era of economic gloom
Austerity, cuts, managers and their fits of doom
We need to take charge and the do the best we can
Figure out a successful game plan
With newer techniques, meshes, there is a lot to take on
For the hernia symposium, thank you once again Ethicon
