Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Two sessions in the cadaver lab, celiac axis mapped in cold
Lesser sac peeled back like pages, every lymph node station told
The hiatus measured, traced and memorized — T10, the vagus threads
This isn't textbook passive reading, this is knowledge built from hands

Novice level: name the variants, assist without a fumble
Peptic ulcer, medical — H2 blocker, triple, humble
Learn the staple before the suture, learn the port before the blade
Every logbook entry dated, every level of grade

[Chorus]
Clips and injection, thermal coagulation
Hemostatic powder pressed to the station
Graham patch, then gastrostomy, hiatal repair supervised
Distal then total, D2 lymphadenectomy — graded and authorized
Novice, intermediate, advanced, independent — four rungs, don't rush the climb
Watch the reference video, match your hands to the line

[Verse 2]
Upper endoscopy — the scope descends through the cardia and the fold
You're hunting for the bleeder now, the stigmata sharp and cold
Clip deployment, over-the-scope, injection of epinephrine true
Thermal probe at tangent angle — hemostasis through and through

Laparoscopic suturing drills, the anastomosis model waits
Intracorporeal hand-tied knots, tension checked before you close the gates
Intermediate expects you bringing Graham patch without a net
Gastrojejunostomy flowing — but still supervised, not done yet

[Chorus]
Clips and injection, thermal coagulation
Hemostatic powder pressed to the station
Graham patch, then gastrostomy, hiatal repair supervised
Distal then total, D2 lymphadenectomy — graded and authorized
Novice, intermediate, advanced, independent — four rungs, don't rush the climb
Watch the reference video, match your hands to the line

[Bridge]
Advanced: the distal gastrectomy, reconstruction mapped and staged
Bleeding ulcer — operative — Billroth or a Roux engaged
Staging CT read alone now, no co-sign on the call
Independent — total gastrectomy, D2, you run the hall
Leak surveillance, dumping syndrome, alkaline reflux — own the syndrome cascade
Lead the MDT, pathology to palliation — every plan you've laid

[Verse 3]
Pull the video of your own hands, set it next to the expert cut
Frame by frame the tension differs, there's the moment that you rushed the gut
Graded responsibility climbing — not a rank but an anatomy of trust
Operative logbook filling — every entry earned, not given, just

Named the celiac branches, simulated, sutured, scoped, and read
Now the milestones stack like vertebrae — a scaffold, not a ceiling overhead

[Chorus]
Clips and injection, thermal coagulation
Hemostatic powder pressed to the station
Graham patch, then gastrostomy, hiatal repair supervised
Distal then total, D2 lymphadenectomy — graded and authorized
Novice, intermediate, advanced, independent — four rungs, don't rush the climb
Watch the reference video, match your hands to the line
