Arteries are red
veins are blue
this month was something exciting and new
It gave me the opportunity to teach cardiology
with some lectures with discussions of radiology
but definitely allowed me to explore my teaching style to teach the crew
Fetal circulation pre and post transition
analyzing the first breath’s final mission
Entering this life and flipping a lot to red from blue
From birth to what happens when the baby grew
Foramen Ovale and PDA
such interesting biological adaptations we sure do make
and don’t forget those ASDs, VSDs that might be part of you
reassuring that you can fix holes in the heart, that’s certainly true
Now cyanotic heart diseases are so important to understand
From Tetralogy of Fallot, Transposition to Hypoplastic heart…our knowledge, we seek to expand
The repairs are equally as fascinating to learn
When you do conservative measures vs. when there should be concern
It is so imperative to have an understanding of these cardiology topics at hand
You never know at your job when this knowledge will be in demand
This wonderful month of teaching comes to an end
thank you to all those who took time to attend
your daily participation, I do commend
