I just love it!! I'm a Labor & Delivery nurse and when i go to OR for a c-section, I can only imagine our anesthesiologists breaking out in song LOLOL!!
Wow - this was fantastic!!!! I've been out of the O.R. for several years now but truly appreciated this! Good for those guys to keep a sense of humor - and they DO have very nice voices!!!!!
Solid! Reminiscent of the fun "old days" of doing anesthesia before PC tight A's slipped into the OR's of the world. Thanks for a gut-busting laugh,nice to see the tradition continues! old gaspasser
Fabulous. Wish you would have sung that song to Michael Jackson's cardiologist. We wake people up. Putting them to sleep is the easy part. Loved the "tube" and "laryngospasm". Had a friend in Minnesota who invented the Bair Hugger. With aloha, from Hawaii. LHD Retired Anesthesiologist
Love it. I try to imagine our anethesiologists or even better our pulmonary docs doing this. You guys are so good, and make me laugh. Just sorry I missed you at FOCUS. Amy_RRT
Neil Sedaka would be very pleased if he ever saw this video. He actually recorded a children's album that includes Waking Up Is Hard To Do but it's about kids getting out of bed.
LOL perfect timing for me to see this. A friend forwarded me the link and I am going to have Surgery on Friday and I just know I am going to crack up now!
This was so cool. In these days when everything is SO serious, it was nice to see some people that still know that life can be a lot of fun. Not to mention, you guys were good.
This was the funniest thing I have ever seen or heard! What talented doctors and sooooo cute too! Now that is the kind of doctor I would like to put me out during surgery!!
As a former PACU nurse I can remember the OR having great accoustics! All that tile I guess. We used to have a good time but things kinda chanaged a few years ago, as David the old gas passer said.
Quick!!! Someone out there give these doctors a contract! I think they've only tapped one tiny tip of their talented iceberg. There's lots of serious material out there that these fellows could bring to us in comical song but at the same time with real class, intelligence and dignity. You love them because they are not profane! Besides being smart and sassy, how cute are these singing doctors?
Love it, Love It, Love it!!! Maybe you should consider soothing your patients with song BEFORE you begin your craft!. At least they'll go under with a smile!!
I could not agree more with what myArizona said: "This was so cool. In these days when everything is SO serious, it was nice to see some people that still know that life can be a lot of fun. Not to mention, you guys were good."
Also, I completely appreciate what lv2puppies said....yes these guys are good, and there is DEFINITELY a market for this kind of stuff!!
Thank you, looking forward for more music from ya'll!
Absolutely! These charmers should try out for America has Talent, because they sure do. Such a nice try from the stuffy, bored type docs who say "count backwards" or "Think of your dream vacation" and that is that.
To Gary and the guys of the Laryngospasms....you still got it!! You sound as great as you did way back in the early 90's when you first started out as anesthesia students at Minneapolis School of Nurse Anesthesia!!!! You are mellowing like fine wines!!!!
Loved it..wow, smart, talented and cute, what a combination! Please sing to me before you put me under. I'm presently in school for MA and sometimew we are just too serious, thanks for the laughs. Please record more!!!
As a former ICU nurse I have always known that the way to survive a medical career with all its stresses was to have a great sense of humor! Thanks for the laughs, you guys rock!
This is too funny. I go under the knife this week. Hope the person manning the tubes is as fun as you guys. I'll be waking up to "Waking Up Is Hard To Do".
I have heard of African OR nurses who sing in harmony while the patient is being operated on. Apparently the outcome is so much better—fewer traumas, less stress and faster healing etc. on patients that I wonder if there has been any studies done on this. Great singing fellas, you can put me out anytime.
Wow...I'm an old blood bank specialist and spent many hours in open heart surgery (notice the avatar name). I almost p***ed my pants when I saw this. These guys rock!! Where can I buy the CD ???
Hi from Florida State College in Jacksonville's Germ Girl. We will use the Singing Anesthesiologists for our opening of our exhibit on Contagion on Wednesday, October 20 2010, 6 p.m. All welcome, if you are awake.
I just got done teaching my second semester A and P II class (respiratory lecture) to my pre allied health communtiy college students, and opened my e mail to this. I went into hysterics! Next lecture opens with the spasms! You guys ROCK!
bobbie-nurse you are the greatest and the cutest doctors i know. please try to get on a T.V. show like Dr.Oz or AMERICAN IDOL. the people would love you and you do SING GOOD.
I am a Cancer Registrar at the local hospital and boy wouldn't I love to work around you guys!!! You can sing, got a beat and a sense of humor!! Best medicine in the world!
I would look forward to surgery if I could have these guys put me down.Great job on the music..and with all that talent in both areas..I suggest you keep doing both..We the people NEED ALL OF YOU!!!!
Nancy Nurse said: Fantastic! You should go just vocal and join The Barbershop Harmony Society. You'd make a good adjunct to "The Choardiac Arrest" Quartet.
I think you should try out for America's Got Talent. You guys are awesome and you would do well in the talent show. Hope to see you there. Gary from California
I absolutely loved this! Reminds me of the airlines that uses humor!! What a gift you men are and I would LOVE to have you break out in this song when I have surgery. I remember when I went in for my colonoscopy right before they put me under I started singing Baby Got Back!! You guys should be on JAy Leno or Dave Lettermen!!
Fabulous fun. Thanks for sharing. You've made my day actually! I like what 'tired old nurse' said; life sure is precious and folks like you remind us of that and how good it is to laugh
Loved it and I can only hope that when I'm in the hopsital my docs are half as witty. Everyone check out DaNica Shirey on youtube ...just youtube her name ... you'll be glad you need. Please show your support by leaving a comment and sharing her video with your family and friends.
Am I the only skeptic who viewed this too-good-to-be-true video? As virtually all of you take this at face value, I think it's time to question that this must be SOME hospital to host this level of musical talent. Really! What hospital do they work at? I would like some proof that this video is what it really purport to be: just "regular guy" anesthesiologists who happen to have glorious voices...hmmm.
For Bruce the skeptic ..... I Googled Laryngospasms and found this: The Laryngospasms - Sleep Has Never Sounded So Good! - home A group of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists that create and perform musical medical parodies throughout the United States.
they are CRNAs--certified registered nurse anesthetists; NURSE ANESTHETISTS who work at several different venues. one is the current president of the minnesota association of nurse anesthetists.
http://www.laryngospasms.com/fr_home.cfm
they have merchandise available, and cds for sale at their homepage.
Knew Neil Sedaka in 1059 whem he wrote this song for Carole King. He lived on Coney Island Ave in Brooklyn and we talked for hours about our dreams.He is one great and talented guy! Frances P Gillespie
You guys rock! Have you got a song to sing when we are waking up from surgery? That would be awesome instead of having people yelling at you to wake up!
I'm going to try sending this to Doctor OZ. You would be such a hit on his show.
I have been a nurse for many years, in small and large hospitals and other venues as well. I know we used to sing along with the radios and I know if you don't have fun in this business you can't cut it. Great job, I LOVED IT
Thank you Svenskaflicka1 for pointing out that these are NURSE ANESTHETISTS. So many people don't know the difference, which is sad. Having been a CRNA for 30 years, I am aware of the Laryngospasms and have their CDs, which are very good. But, like CRNAs, they are far too un-appreciated for the quality of work they do.
These guys are great! I presently work with anesthesiologists on a daily basis and I have never worked with any of this caliber. An O.R. and endoscopy nurse.
This is great! I am an ARNP (Nurse Practitioner) who has worked in MANY different settings with a lot of funny people (and some crabs, too). This made my day. I can't wait to send it to my Daughter who is an RN in PACU. Her team will love it!
They're gonna get calls! Will we see them on oprah, leno, letterman, the view, etc.? What a great way for to raise $$ for medical research, such as: MD, MS, Diabetes, CF, Cancer, Childrens Cancer, etc.
Bravo! A terrific performance. I hope the group does more. In the spirit of sharnig, we are big believers in using music and fun to boost moral and - in the case of the link below - raise money for the benefit of our (non-profit, county) hosptial.
ROTFL!!! I'm a retired LDR/ICU/ER nurse, and after 31 years in the field, the line, "I think I'm gonna throw up on you,' cracked me up---been there, done that!! So many pairs of ruined shoes! You guys made my day. We need all the humor we can get in the medical world these days. Kathy K.
This is great! I had to listen to it a few times before deciding that these guys are for real. I even sent it to my adopted dad whos a retired ER doctor.
Our Interventional Rad patients think we are the most fun department...obviously they haven't met the boys yet! Thanks for the entertainment-come to Baltimore sometime and sing with us!
Utterly entertaining. Excellent harmony. I think you, most talented doctors, should take the show on the road on your days off....and next time the anesthesiologist asks me to count backwards by 3...I hope they all breack into a song. LOVED IT.
You fellows make me want to be put out right now! Juice me up boys! What a delightful thing to do! Thanks for the respit from a gloomy rainy day in California....didn't the song say it never rains in Californis? Best of luck to you and I'm looking forward to hearing more creative works by this group!
It brought a smile to my face. Will send it to any friends who are facing surgery and think of it if I do. Well done......excellent....you always have a second career.
I posted the video on my blog, and my stats went waaay high. I must post more of the fabulous performances by the Laryngospasms. Thanks a bunch for your post, Samurai, which introduced me to the talented guys.
I sing and my Dad is a Barbershopper - this is great! I've had numerous surgeries and once while under sedation on a gurney in the hallway, I was singing, and the nurses couldn't figure out who was doing it! Great fun and this is a great video!
How fun! Nice work, guys... I'm an ER doc and have thought about putting other concepts to song, but it wouldn't be nearly as well done!!! Thanks for giving me a good laugh today (lyrics are awesome!)
I am a Rehab nurse in a local area hospital...I hope that our team is this entertaining when I go in for jaw surgery next month, I'd like to sing along!!! What fun, thanks for sharing!!
This really is lol funny I can relate to the lyics. I am a old pediatric nurse. Maybe if the kids were sung to it would have calmed them a little, before or after surgery. Or at least maybe staff.
Audrey said...This is awesome. Being a Labor & Delivery Nurse I have been in the OR many times...it would have been so sweet to have the anesthesiologist breaking out in song. Where were you guys at when I had my neck surgery, bilateral knee surgery,bilateral foot surgery, and two c/sections? Music has always been my passion and helps to relax and inspire me. It would have been so cool to have you there to help calm my nerves with your beautiful voices. Thanks for sharing! And, keep on rocking your patients to sleep...
We just lost our Dad recently and wish that you guys were there to cheer him back to life. Oh, well, he's having a blast in Heaven with his dearly departed wife now. Rock on, Dad! Rock on, Laryngospasms!!
For the record. These are Nurse Anesthetists.......not Anesthesiologists. NOt a big deal but I am also an anesthetist and we like to educate the public about us. MOST anesthetics in the US are delivered by Nurse anesthetists as the sole provider or in collaboration with an ologist. Thx
Great voices with spot on harmony! As a member of the Sweet Adelines, I love Acapella!! A singing voice should be a prerequisite for all anesthesiologists!! Bravo, Docs!!
Bravo!!!! From a singer/songwriter who negotiated Medical Malpractice cases for a living, I can relate. You should hear m "Claims Adjuster Blues!!! Nelle Fastman Pingree
I TOTALLY LOVE THIS... Neil Sedaka in his prime and these boys (fanning myself)...have the "IT" Factor. I'm not a nurse, doctor or nuttin'... but signing up to be a patient on their WARD. If I go out (as in don't wake up), well than... I went in style. Keep On It Guys... You TOTALLY ROCK. Peachie_z28
WHAT A GREAT VIDEO!! I am a part time DJ, specializing in music of the 50's-60's, and I loved this video. This is the best music in the world, and they did a fantastic job. keep up the great work guys, in the O.R. and behind the mic!! I plan on ordering the C.D.
I don't remember seeing you cute and talented nurse anesthesiologists when I had my wrist surgery last month. Which hospital are you at so next time I have surgery I"ll surely go to yours. Keep the uplifting spirit and God will help you to become successful singers besides being great nurses. Love and hugs, Judy Ess
For those of you who keep asking what hospital they work at.. "Northfield Hospital", and my daughter has the privledge of working with all of them as she is a CNA in Labor and Delivery. These guys have beautiful voices!!
what fun! i have been out of the OR for 11 years (RN) and it is good to know they still know how to have a good time! your singing is great and your lyrics hysterical and oh so right on!
Well, waking up was mostly throwing up when I was a student nurse in the O. R. I'd have loved working this quintette. Some of them are really cute!! Loved this. Lea,erstwhile nurse turned teacher, and ending up as a foreign language diction coach for opera singers. So, I really appreciated this singing bunch!
You guys are GREAT! I think your videos should be required viewing & listening before EVERY surgery; patients would all be so much more relaxed "going under!" Keep up the great work, and the great music; I love it!
Who'd'a thought it! Not only are these guys great... but it's wonderful to find medical people with senses of humor. No stony faces here! Thanks, guys!!
Wow, that was awesome. These fellas sure know how to put a patient at ease. If I ever have to go in for surgery again, I can laugh thinking of these fellas and their song
Fantastic!!! Anesthesia's Got Talent! Good voices too . Now this is what we need in the Hospital Operating Rooms. Please come to New York City... To The Hospital For Special Surgery Love You Guys !!
This crotchety old internist hasn't set foot in an OR in over 30 years. Nonetheless, these guys brought back memories of medical humor as it was 50 years ago. Keep up the great work!
Outstanding talent: except for a local, I turn down anesthesia. For Dental work I turn that down as well and If I could be so grandly entertained, I'm sure that even the minor discomfort would go unnoticed. Great Job.
You made my day! Fabulous singing voices - and the best-looking O.R. bunch I've ever seen. I've posted this on HEART SISTERS - my fellow heart attack survivors will LOVE this! Rock on, guys....
Beautiful singing, love the harmonies. This is one way to stay balanced in a stressful job.
Maybe the world at large does not appreciate the work of anesthesiologists enough. Waking up is very important, and I depend on you! It's disconcerting to be seen as a 'job'.
I also sing, and thanks to you & my surgical team, I still can. Keep on singing--and remember all the good work you do!
I've just had seven surgeries in fourteen months and wish that this super-talented group had been singing away my pre-surgery terrors. Awesome, powerful and hysterically funny!
Most excellent rendition guys.....as an Emergency Physician for over 28 years I listened to lots of songs in my head during the most dire of circumstances....just to maintain my sanity but hearing y'all sing your re-written version of that great song was timeless. Take care and keep on passin' that heavenly gas!!! Jerry Lee Surber www.reverbnation.com/jerryleesurberrocks.com
All I can say is . . . HILARIOUS! Can't say I can relate personally, as the last (and ONLY time) I was ever under anesthetics was when I was 3 years old and had my tonsils out. (I'm now 58). Knock on wood! <<>>
I just have to correct a few of you. The Laryngospasms are a group of NURSE Anesthetists. They have 2 CDs out and you can get them on their website. Not only are the cute and can sing, but they are some really great guys and very respected nurse anesthetists!
Had a triple hernia op at Tweed Heads OZ. My surname is Amour and just as I was recovering all I could here was all the Hospital staff singing My Chereie Amour and good with it too! What a great way to come out of surgery!
GREAT! WONDERFUL! Keep singing,laughing and doing what you do.. I am an"old" NICU RN and every time I go to the O.R. now I'll smile and think of you (and miss you) We Need handsome singing guys in the O.R.
Hi guys!!! I've been a PACU nurse for 37 years,and your video is the greatest!!! I was having a very frustrating day on the internet today,but you made me laugh.Thank you soo much for making my day!! Carol
I've been an L&D nurse for 21yrs and I would have to say some of my best friends were CRNA's and we made many memories amongst ourselves in our sections. You guys, as my girls would say....are the BOMB! I look forward to viewing many more of your anesthesia videos.....Why don't you travel down to Texas and sing us a country "yeehaw" song?.....
These guys are the best! They can put me out ANYTIME! I think all of us would appreciate a little happiness humor when we are in that situation! How fun and cute!
You guys are awesome. When are you going to start traveling around the us doing tours in hospitals? Please let me know when you will be in the south florida area. Please advertise for the ft. lauderdale hosptials. I will be the first in line to buy tickets. Also if you need a fan club president im available. Dont stop making everyones day..Your great and cute!! Happy Beaching!!
You guys are just super!!! Next time I need surgery I will be thinking of all of you and just how great it would be to have any one of you as the anesthesiologist!! Keep up the good work...I am sure all of your patients LOVE yah!!!
Grand Rounds is a weekly collection of the best writing in the medical blogosphere. I was delighted to host Volume 5, no. 20 here on February 3rd, 2009.
What does a radiologist do? Who are these rarely glimpsed and mysterious figures that float through the background of medical care?
Why would someone want to spend all of that time in medical school learning to be a Real Doctor™, and then throw it all away by becoming a radiologist?
Welcome to Not Totally Rad.
As the masthead suggests, most, but not all, of the topics discussed here will have something to do with radiology, medical imaging and imagers. Hopefully light will be shed on these matters, even if it's invisible to the naked eye.
The Samurai Radiologist has spent more than 20 years as a diagnostic radiologist, most of them professing at various university medical centers.
The "samurai" part is a nod to the late, great John Belushi, whose samurai skits on Saturday Night Live featured a samurai with a day job in some other field, such as dry-cleaning or a delicatessen. The plot usually gave him some hilarious job-related excuse to use his sword.
Since much of medical imaging (e.g. CT and MR) involves digital "cuts" through the body in various planes, I always hoped to someday see him portray a "samurai radiologist". I guess I'll just have to play that role myself.

I'm a Labor & Delivery nurse and when i go to OR for a c-section, I can only imagine our anesthesiologists breaking out in song LOLOL!!
Good job guys!
LOVE IT! I'm for sure going to crack up next time I go down to the OR! Thanks guys!
What Fun!! Certainly has a nurses touch. Many years ago a patient told me, "Life is much to precious to be taken too seriously." How true.
This is wonderful. They all seem so serious when you go into surgery. It's great that they showed that they really have such great sense of humors.
Wow - this was fantastic!!!! I've been out of the O.R. for several years now but truly appreciated this! Good for those guys to keep a sense of humor - and they DO have very nice voices!!!!!
Nancy G - old scrub nurse
Solid!
Reminiscent of the fun "old days" of doing anesthesia before PC tight A's slipped into the OR's of the world.
Thanks for a gut-busting laugh,nice to see the tradition continues!
old gaspasser
AWESOME!!!!!!! Anesthesia's Got Talent!
Fantastic! From a Veterinary Radiologist who is nursing his wife after foot surgery. Our anesthesia crew had a similar sense of humor.
Cutie pies - all of them. g
Very cute ditty. I can attest to the panic of frantically being unable to breathe when coming out surgery too early.
I so want to work with these guys. Great voice, cute too.
Awesome. your guys did a wonderful job, So cute, and wonderful singing. I am a nuse and find this to be so fun. Keep on smiling!!!
What a great change of pace, those were really good songs and times, thank you
Oh what a great way to go to sleep! Keep up the humor in such a relaxing manner.
This is just great! Kudos to these guys for adding a little humor to a scary time for patients. I loved this.
Fabulous. Wish you would have sung that song to Michael Jackson's cardiologist. We wake people up. Putting them to sleep is the easy part. Loved the "tube" and "laryngospasm". Had a friend in Minnesota who invented the Bair Hugger. With aloha, from Hawaii. LHD Retired Anesthesiologist

Gas passers, Dip drippers, great sense of humor, and you can sing too. What more could a patient (or scrub team) ask for? Great job, guys!
Neil Sedaka would be very pleased if he ever saw this video. He actually recorded a children's album that includes Waking Up Is Hard To Do but it's about kids getting out of bed.
LOL perfect timing for me to see this. A friend forwarded me the link and I am going to have Surgery on Friday and I just know I am going to crack up now!
Very good!! Lost a tooth from a surgery wish I had you! Sending to my 2 nieces by marriage and 2 nephews all dr. like you. They're in Az and NV.
This was so cool. In these days when everything is SO serious, it was nice to see some people that still know that life can be a lot of fun. Not to mention, you guys were good.
This was the funniest thing I have ever seen or heard! What talented doctors and sooooo cute too! Now that is the kind of doctor I would like to put me out during surgery!!
This was great!!!! I laughed and luaghed until my sides hurt.
As a former PACU nurse I can remember the OR having great accoustics! All that tile I guess. We used to have a good time but things kinda chanaged a few years ago, as David the old gas passer said.
Quick!!! Someone out there give these doctors a contract! I think they've only tapped one tiny tip of their talented iceberg. There's lots of serious material out there that these fellows could bring to us in comical song but at the same time with real class, intelligence and dignity. You love them because they are not profane! Besides being smart and sassy, how cute are these singing doctors?
Where were these guys in april when i had my hystorectomy??
Love it, Love It, Love it!!! Maybe you should consider soothing your patients with song BEFORE you begin your craft!. At least they'll go under with a smile!!
Great Job!
Good video; nice to hear something light-hearted in the medical department of life once in awhile!
(for the person who subtitled the video) you might like to correct the spelling of breathe where it says "breath."
I could not agree more with what myArizona said: "This was so cool. In these days when everything is SO serious, it was nice to see some people that still know that life can be a lot of fun. Not to mention, you guys were good."
Also, I completely appreciate what lv2puppies said....yes these guys are good, and there is DEFINITELY a market for this kind of stuff!!

I think you should try out for Americas Got Talent. I bet you could win. Great Job!!
I absolutely LOVE IT! What a fun group of folks!
Thats so funny!!! Love their song!!! LOL
Absolutely! These charmers should try out for America has Talent, because they sure do. Such a nice try from the stuffy, bored type docs who say "count backwards" or "Think of your dream vacation" and that is that.
Great guys, cute all of them!

The singing was great! You guys rock!. Anita, RN
You guys are the best. Hope you have more songs.
That was the greatest.
I love this. As a nurse since 1975 I think this is one of the funniest things I have seen. Great job.
You guys are tremendous! Thanks for showing us a lighter side of a serious profession. I wish our gas guys here were as talented!
wow, i would love to work with people like you! awesome.
Hys-ter-i-cal!!
great laugh, great talent!
cheer!
As a former ICU nurse I have always known that the way to survive a medical career with all its stresses was to have a great sense of humor! Thanks for the laughs, you guys rock!
X-cell-ant! Not only is it good singing (and a good tune) but there are some real cutey-pies doing the singing! Go to it guys! ;* (smack!)
Very good, please come to Atlanta, GA
Clever lyrics, very funny and great singing! Some of the guys at VERY cute at well! Sing on men!
This is too funny. I go under the knife this week. Hope the person manning the tubes is as fun as you guys. I'll be waking up to "Waking Up Is Hard To Do".

I haven't enjoyed good singing and great humor like this in a long long time. You guys are fantastic. We want MORE MORE MORE.
They can sing to me anytime!
I absolutely loved this! Reminds me of the airlines that uses humor!! What a gift you men are and I would LOVE to have you break out in this song when I have surgery. I remember when I went in for my colonoscopy right before they put me under I started singing Baby Got Back!! You guys should be on JAy Leno or Dave Lettermen!!
GOOD TO SEE NURSE ANESTHETIST'S WITH GREAT VOCALS AND HUMOR.
THANKS
Fabulous fun. Thanks for sharing. You've made my day actually! I like what 'tired old nurse' said; life sure is precious and folks like you remind us of that and how good it is to laugh
This is the best. I wish they were around when I was in nursing school. Make more. You give lots of smiles with this wonderful singing.
Loved it and I can only hope that when I'm in the hopsital my docs are half as witty. Everyone check out DaNica Shirey on youtube ...just youtube her name ... you'll be glad you need. Please show your support by leaving a comment and sharing her video with your family and friends.

Phenomenal! You doctors missed your callings. You should waking people up instead of putting them to sleep. LOL! Outstanding!

This is great! Thanks for sharing!!
I love this! Thanks for taking the time to let us know the human side of medicine!
I am going in for knee surgery next week. Wish I could hear this before going under.
I am a retired NY gaspasser with a baritone voice. I sing in the shower and I am available !!!!!
P.S.: I also wrote an anesthetic thriller (TerrO.R.) inspired by an old O.R. case.
Just to let the world know....
OR Nurse..one word guys..AWESOME!!
Totally Enjoyable..I LOVE IT!
lol..Judie
How great are these guys?? Fantastic!! Would love having them in the O.R. I work in.....we would be smiling all the time.
Great .... We should get more Vocal. Sometimes I feel like Rodney D
Knew Neil Sedaka in 1059 whem he wrote this song for Carole King. He lived on Coney Island Ave in Brooklyn and we talked for hours about our dreams.He is one great and talented guy!
Frances P Gillespie
O My......hurry up and put me out already.......lol
Ah, the Five Sleepy-time Docs,
Real Gassers, they're real Pros...
As we awake, feeling so poetic:
Flatulence is a Wild, Gassy Rose.
Great job...You 5 give everyone a "Smile Break." THANKS !!!
You guys rock! Have you got a song to sing when we are waking up from surgery? That would be awesome instead of having people yelling at you to wake up!
I'm going to try sending this to Doctor OZ. You would be such a hit on his show.
Gretchen in Dallas
A great follow-up would be for the patient to respond with
"Wake me up before you go-go"!
I have been a nurse for many years, in small and large hospitals and other venues as well. I know we used to sing along with the radios and I know if you don't have fun in this business you can't cut it. Great job, I LOVED IT
SINGING SANDMEN OF THE WORLD....UNITE !!!!
OMG! I LOVE it! You guys are super. Hey, laugh can cure a lot - and we need more these days!

my friend sent this to me as I am due to have an operation at the end of the Month. It is great and I intend to sing this as I go under . Leila
Thank you Svenskaflicka1 for pointing out that these are NURSE ANESTHETISTS. So many people don't know the difference, which is sad. Having been a CRNA for 30 years, I am aware of the Laryngospasms and have their CDs, which are very good. But, like CRNAs, they are far too un-appreciated for the quality of work they do.
I love these docs let themselves have fun in a field that can be extremely stressful! Love it!
How much fun are these docs!
I just love it - as a patient I'd love to hear music like that before I went under - especially from the guy on the far right! LOL
These guys are great! I presently work with anesthesiologists on a daily basis and I have never worked with any of this caliber. An O.R. and endoscopy nurse.
Another nurse here but going for a procedure in a couple of weeks. This is so good. Can you fly one of those docs out here to give me the gas?
Great! The one on the right is HOT!!!
Reminds me of The Tonics, a group of surgeons around Philly who sing barbershop. Great voices, guys!
My husband is Neil Sedaka's bass player- the man who wrote the other version of this song! I may have to send it to him, all right?
This is great! I am an ARNP (Nurse Practitioner) who has worked in MANY different settings with a lot of funny people (and some crabs, too). This made my day. I can't wait to send it to my Daughter who is an RN in PACU. Her team will love it!
LOVED it!!! Great voices. They should go on America's Got Talent.
America's Got Talent should be looking for them instead! They're really great. Only they could come up with their lyrics.
beautiful...just beautiful!!!
They're gonna get calls! Will we see them on oprah, leno, letterman, the view, etc.? What a great way for to raise $$ for medical research, such as: MD, MS, Diabetes, CF, Cancer, Childrens Cancer, etc.
Thanks guys!! This was great! I have seen one other and it was fun too! You guys can really sing! I am thankful for the work you do! Thanks again!
so cute and so goood!! love it!!
Love it!
The Nursing Group
We are a nursing staffing agency in Wallingford, Pa. This has made my day!!!
You go guys, you have great voices and a wonderful spirit. My nurses would certainly love you guys to give them anesthesia and work with you!
You are great!

Awesome!!!! You wake me up every morning. You are all great. I sent this to the Ellen Show. Hope you make it.
Bravo! A terrific performance. I hope the group does more. In the spirit of sharnig, we are big believers in using music and fun to boost moral and - in the case of the link below - raise money for the benefit of our (non-profit, county) hosptial.
Enjoy!

From the other end of the needle, I enjoyed this...having had to 'awaken' many times!
ROTFL!!! I'm a retired LDR/ICU/ER nurse, and after 31 years in the field, the line, "I think I'm gonna throw up on you,' cracked me up---been there, done that!! So many pairs of ruined shoes! You guys made my day. We need all the humor we can get in the medical world these days. Kathy K.
This is great! I had to listen to it a few times before deciding that these guys are for real. I even sent it to my adopted dad whos a retired ER doctor.
I'm sure this kind of approach to working in hospital's makes it less of a worry to patients going under the knife,lets have more.
Our Interventional Rad patients think we are the most fun department...obviously they haven't met the boys yet! Thanks for the entertainment-come to Baltimore sometime and sing with us!
Utterly entertaining. Excellent harmony. I think you, most talented doctors, should take the show on the road on your days off....and next time the anesthesiologist asks me to count backwards by 3...I hope they all breack into a song. LOVED IT.
I love this! I haven't felt this good in days! Thank you guys. What a super convergence. - Joe Camp
Am I the only non-medical person to watch this video? EVERYONE should see and hear it! These guys are great. I am forwarding this to my doctors!
You guys are great!!! Thanks for sharing your song.
As an SICU RN this is great!!! Wish more OR staff had this sense of humor!! lol!! You guys ROCK! :-)
You fellows make me want to be put out right now! Juice me up boys!
What a delightful thing to do! Thanks for the respit from a gloomy rainy day in California....didn't the song say it never rains in Californis?
Best of luck to you and I'm looking forward to hearing more creative works by this group!
It brought a smile to my face. Will send it to any friends who are facing surgery and think of it if I do. Well done......excellent....you always have a second career.
LOVE!!!
My dad was a CRNA and would have loved your video. He was the first male nursing student back in the day. He passed away 19 years ago.
He was also on the first open heart team in Spokane.
All Right! Totally loved it! If I'm ever in surgery this is the personality I would like to have in there with me.
I believe the Laryngospasms are a group of Certified Registered Nurse anesthetists ( CRNA) and they are great! Never heard of CRNA? Check it out!
Love the harmony! What talented anesthesiologists! Every OR should have something like that to brighten the day. Cheers docs!
From a retired RN who sings with the Symphony.
OMG. . . what a STITCH !
Good job !
Beth in ND
You should consider going professional. I love the lead singer's voice.
Another LDR/OR nurse checking in...... wish your group was in our OR
IRis.
I posted the video on my blog, and my stats went waaay high. I must post more of the fabulous performances by the Laryngospasms. Thanks a bunch for your post, Samurai, which introduced me to the talented guys.
Awesome talent! They can sing to me every day! Any of them single? I am a widow...I want them next time I go in for an operation!patticakes102
I sing and my Dad is a Barbershopper - this is great!
I've had numerous surgeries and once while under sedation on a gurney in the hallway, I was singing, and the nurses couldn't figure out who was doing it! Great fun and this is a great video!
How fun! Nice work, guys... I'm an ER doc and have thought about putting other concepts to song, but it wouldn't be nearly as well done!!! Thanks for giving me a good laugh today (lyrics are awesome!)
My dear Dad sent me this link...I go in for surgery tomorrow morning! I'll be thinking of this before entering the OR
I am a cancer patient and these guys made me smile and laugh and forget my pain. Thank God for them. The world needs more like them.
Wish my husband had them when he was waking up from surgery today!
I am a Rehab nurse in a local area hospital...I hope that our team is this entertaining when I go in for jaw surgery next month, I'd like to sing along!!! What fun, thanks for sharing!!
Incredible . I love it! These talented doctors could easily calm their patients. Wish there are more doctors like them in hospitals.
This really is lol funny I can relate to the lyics. I am a old pediatric nurse. Maybe if the kids were sung to it would have calmed them a little, before or after surgery. Or at least maybe staff.
Audrey said...This is awesome. Being a Labor & Delivery Nurse I have been in the OR many times...it would have been so sweet to have the anesthesiologist breaking out in song. Where were you guys at when I had my neck surgery, bilateral knee surgery,bilateral foot surgery, and two c/sections? Music has always been my passion and helps to relax and inspire me. It would have been so cool to have you there to help calm my nerves with your beautiful voices.
Thanks for sharing! And, keep on rocking your patients to sleep...
Just had a knee replaced last week, sure wish these guys had been there, or they could have come home with me and kept me in good spirits.
We just lost our Dad recently and wish that you guys were there to cheer him back to life. Oh, well, he's having a blast in Heaven with his dearly departed wife now. Rock on, Dad! Rock on, Laryngospasms!!
For the record. These are Nurse Anesthetists.......not Anesthesiologists. NOt a big deal but I am also an anesthetist and we like to educate the public about us. MOST anesthetics in the US are delivered by Nurse anesthetists as the sole provider or in collaboration with an ologist. Thx
Great voices with spot on harmony! As a member of the Sweet Adelines, I love Acapella!! A singing voice should be a prerequisite for all anesthesiologists!! Bravo, Docs!!
oh my, how can i get in that hospital???
Where do I get the CD? DVD?
These guys are good looking, have brains (x2) AND they can sing! :)
Any of these guys single?
Bravo!!!! From a singer/songwriter who negotiated Medical Malpractice cases for a living, I can relate. You should hear m "Claims Adjuster Blues!!! Nelle Fastman Pingree
Look how many comments here!!!
You guys are really, really good.
I appreciate talent when I see it.
Good for you and keep up the good work!
I TOTALLY LOVE THIS... Neil Sedaka in his prime and these boys (fanning myself)...have the "IT" Factor. I'm not a nurse, doctor or nuttin'... but signing up to be a patient on their WARD. If I go out (as in don't wake up), well than... I went in style. Keep On It Guys... You TOTALLY ROCK. Peachie_z28
Great fun! Same sense of humor as my nurses with my colonoscopy! Made it fun! Thanks for a great bedside manner!
WHAT A GREAT VIDEO!! I am a part time DJ, specializing in music of the 50's-60's, and I loved this video. This is the best music in the world, and they did a fantastic job. keep up the great work guys, in the O.R. and behind the mic!! I plan on ordering the C.D.
Loved it!!! Reminds me of my Veterinary school days when we had the band "The Idiopathics". I miss those days!! Keep it up guys!!
Hmmm-I'd sure like to sleep with the one on right. (Think about it.)
They're all great!!

I don't remember seeing you cute and talented nurse anesthesiologists when I had my wrist surgery last month. Which hospital are you at so next time I have surgery I"ll surely go to yours. Keep the uplifting spirit and God will help you to become successful singers besides being great nurses. Love and hugs, Judy Ess
HA and they actually sound good too. I see some moonlighting in their future.
For those of you who keep asking what hospital they work at.. "Northfield Hospital", and my daughter has the privledge of working with all of them as she is a CNA in Labor and Delivery. These guys have beautiful voices!!
what fun! i have been out of the OR for 11 years (RN) and it is good to know they still know how to have a good time! your singing is great and your lyrics hysterical and oh so right on!
I will fly to MN if I EVER need surgery! I am petrified of anesthesia and these guys would save my life! LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
LOVED IT! I want to have one of you for a nurse and sing me back to health. You are terrific!!! Keep having fun.
Nice voices and good looking as well!
Well, waking up was mostly throwing up when I was a student nurse in the O. R. I'd have loved working this quintette. Some of them are really cute!! Loved this. Lea,erstwhile nurse turned teacher, and ending up as a foreign language diction coach for opera singers. So, I really appreciated this singing bunch!
Lea
You guys are GREAT! I think your videos should be required viewing & listening before EVERY surgery; patients would all be so much more relaxed "going under!" Keep up the great work, and the great music; I love it!
Who'd'a thought it! Not only are these guys great... but it's wonderful to find medical people with senses of humor. No stony faces here! Thanks, guys!!
These cute guys do a great job with their music - and they made me smile too. What a bunch of sweet happy faces to see in an OR.
Wow, that was awesome. These fellas sure know how to put a patient at ease. If I ever have to go in for surgery again, I can laugh thinking of these fellas and their song
I love it!! If I ever need surgery I want to go to that hospital.
Great Job!!!
Fantastic!!! Anesthesia's Got Talent! Good voices too .
Now this is what we need in the Hospital Operating Rooms.
Please come to New York City...
To The Hospital For Special Surgery
Love You Guys !!

This crotchety old internist hasn't set foot in an OR in over 30 years. Nonetheless, these guys brought back memories of medical humor as it was 50 years ago. Keep up the great work!
Outstanding talent: except for a local, I turn down anesthesia. For Dental work I turn that down as well and If I could be so grandly entertained, I'm sure that even the minor discomfort would go unnoticed. Great Job.
OMG..... Is this great or what? Thank-you so very much for the giggle.
makes surgery kind of fun ! haha
Really, guys---you need to be more optimistic!
Create new verses to the old classic:
"Rise, and SHINE! and Sing out YOUR GLORY! GLORY!"
You made my day! Fabulous singing voices - and the best-looking O.R. bunch I've ever seen. I've posted this on HEART SISTERS - my fellow heart attack survivors will LOVE this! Rock on, guys....

Beautiful singing, love the harmonies. This is one way to stay balanced in a stressful job.
Maybe the world at large does not appreciate the work of anesthesiologists enough. Waking up is very important, and I depend on you! It's disconcerting to be seen as a 'job'.
I also sing, and thanks to you & my surgical team, I still can. Keep on singing--and remember all the good work you do!
I've just had seven surgeries in fourteen months and wish that this super-talented group had been singing away my pre-surgery terrors. Awesome, powerful and hysterically funny!
Most excellent rendition guys.....as an Emergency Physician for over 28 years I listened to lots of songs in my head during the most dire of circumstances....just to maintain my sanity but hearing y'all sing your re-written version of that great song was timeless. Take care and keep on passin' that heavenly gas!!!

All I can say is . . . HILARIOUS! Can't say I can relate personally, as the last (and ONLY time) I was ever under anesthetics was when I was 3 years old and had my tonsils out. (I'm now 58). Knock on wood! <<>>
I just have to correct a few of you. The Laryngospasms are a group of NURSE Anesthetists. They have 2 CDs out and you can get them on their website. Not only are the cute and can sing, but they are some really great guys and very respected nurse anesthetists!
Oh, my gosh, love these guys, the great old time rhythms and great harmony. also, they are easy on the eyes!
Thanks so much.
PJ
I'm a retired nurse....wish our drs had this kind of humor (and talent)...this was great....and they really have great voices.
You must of practice a lot to sound so effortless and professional. Very uplifting. To bad, I do not need surgery.
Had a triple hernia op at Tweed Heads OZ. My surname is Amour and just as I was recovering all I could here was all the Hospital staff singing My Chereie Amour and good with it too!
What a great way to come out of surgery!
That is just too funny.
These guys can sing me to sleep anytime!
I'm a old ICU nurse and this is too funny!! Thanks for the humor, great job!!!
GREAT! WONDERFUL!
Keep singing,laughing and doing what you do.. I am an"old" NICU RN and every time I go to the O.R. now I'll
smile and think of you (and miss you)
We Need handsome singing guys in the O.R.
This is great. How fun. Im a RRT in Colo. Boy do I relate. Keep singing and having fun.
Gwen
Hi guys!!! I've been a PACU nurse for 37 years,and your video is the greatest!!! I was having a very frustrating day on the internet today,but you made me laugh.Thank you soo much for making my day!! Carol
I've been an L&D nurse for 21yrs and I would have to say some of my best friends were CRNA's and we made many memories amongst ourselves in our sections. You guys, as my girls would say....are the BOMB! I look forward to viewing many more of your anesthesia videos.....Why don't you travel down to Texas and sing us a country "yeehaw" song?.....
These guys are the best! They can put me out ANYTIME! I think all of us would appreciate a little happiness humor when we are in that situation!
How fun and cute!
You guys are awesome. When are you going to start traveling around the us doing tours in hospitals? Please let me know when you will be in the south florida area. Please advertise for the ft. lauderdale hosptials. I will be the first in line to buy tickets. Also if you need a fan club president im available.
Dont stop making everyones day..Your great and cute!!
Happy Beaching!!
Loved it...just wish you could have been around for some of my many surgeries. I also agree with the lady who said the guy on the right was HOT!!!
I'm 64, but I am willing to have my 5th CS if these 5 guys will be my nurse-anesthesiologists.
You guys are just super!!! Next time I need surgery I will be thinking of all of you and just how great it would be to have any one of you as the anesthesiologist!! Keep up the good work...I am sure all of your patients LOVE yah!!!
Love the humor, will pass this on!
It's a gas :) Excellent video.
These guys are the best. I sure wish they worked at my hospital here in Vancouver WA!!!
