The circulator doing a case with a surgeon who has
never done this procedure before.

The surgeon chews on the scrub tech, the scrub tech chews
on the circulator, the circulator chews on … oops, the circulator is at
the bottom of the food chain.
"Hakuna Matata" (The Lion King)
Refers to nothing. I just like saying it and trying to spell it.

What you see after banging your head on the lights,
the X-ray box, the video tower and the bed when getting under
it to retrieve a sponge. All in one day.
"I Just Can't Wait to Be King" (The Lion King)
Naively thinking at one time I wanted to be the supervisor someday.
"Part of Your World" (Little Mermaid)
Wonderin' free. Wish I could be. In an outpatient world.

Med students.
"I Love to Laugh" (Mary Poppins)
On most days with some of the wittiest, brightest and unique people.
