Craniotomy

Son of a gun, I see it
Your blood vessel's pinched and coiled
Gordon, now I have a name for what you have
And your designation
Arteriovenous Malformation
Wait, Arterial- I'm sorry?

Arterial Venous Malformation
It's something you were born with
Veins in brains are like balloons
Filled with blood
Sometimes they burst
If worse comes to worst
Which unfortunately yours did.

Craniotomy
Is indicated
Craniotomy
Is not in the norm
You must rely on me
I'm very highly rated
And craniotomy
Is what I must perform
Right?

Right
Right?
Well.

If he's not exact
He may crush the motor tract
So the bad news is
You may never run or hike
Or ride a bike
Even worse news is
You may simply die
Of course, the decision to operate is entirely yours.

It's a high-risk operation
He can't guarantee success
I wish I could.

But you really have no options
So they only answer, more or less
Is absolutely yes
I can't guarantee success
No one can
But we really have no options
No options
So the only answer, more or less
Is absolutely yes
Absolutely yes.

And now I have to go
My kids and I have tickets to see Fun Home
Well?
Good
So craniotomy tomorrow.
