Bart Simpsonesque Hospital Pages
Posted by WhiteCoat on October 9, 2007
Ever get a streak in you where you just want to be a little rabblerouser?
Bart Simpson does it to Moe all the time. We did it before Bart Simpson made it famous.
Back in medical school and residency, a group of us would call the hospital operators and ask to have someone overhead paged. They would page the person and the “medically inclined” who heard the overhead pages would get a chuckle. I have to pretend like I’m mature, so I don’t do it anymore. Besides, the operator would recognize my voice and I’d get in trouble.
My mind is failing me, because I can’t remember many of the good ones. And we had a lot of them. Help me out.
I know some people read this blog who don’t have a medical background, so I included links to the “punchline” within the names.

Al Tosax, Please play a few bars of “How High the Moon”
That last one is obviously not one that you would use, but when I was a kid at All-State choir, they were constantly paging Al Tosax. We never heard one for Ten Orsax, however.
