"Older People in Lockdown"

(to the tune of "Alexander Hamilton")

With thanks to this article which inspired me:
jme.bmj.com/content/early/…

With apologies for lyrical shortcomings - improvements gladly accepted!
#hiphop #medicalethics #Covid_19 #lockdown How does an ageist journal article go
Say “selective lockdown of the elderly” is ethical
In a prestigious journal printed unchallenged?
A shocker! We should all give a zero to this scholar.

Hi, BP

Hello my old friend, uncontrolled BP
Seems like every night on call, you call for me
Why a normal systolic goes to 203
Could be hospital medicine's biggest mystery.

(1/6) 95, dementia, in with hip fracture,
Usually a calm sedentary character
BP 190, but see the empty bowel chart
Amlodipine 5 won't help them to start

(2/6)
