The clotting cascade is like learning to dance,
Factor VIII to X like a great romance.
So many steps to learn and recall,
Good thing your body has them all.

SCDs are King and Lovenox Queen
SCDs are King and Lovenox Queen
Of the land they reign that is DVT clean.
‘Clot clean!’ is their motto, one for all to hear.
Its one all clots should fear, a land they should never be near.
For if clots set foot in Clot Cleanville they will surely be lysed
As C diff after the use of many bleach wipes.
So nurses, create for your patients a Clot Clean life
For they will be merry and enjoy much less strife.

SCDs Rule the Land
SCDs like the lord of the land,
They squash out clots before they can even stand.
Like small critters running, clots disappear
For SCDs keep watch like a burly musketeer.
‘Pump, Pump, Pump!’ SCDs repeat
as they prepare to crush every DVT they meet.

SCD’s stop Cemeteries
Dear Doctor I know you’re smart,
But please order SCD’s and do your part.
They stop blood pooling and forming clots
And keep our patients out of cemetery plots.

Ask for Lovenox
Remember to ask for Lovenox,
To forget it is to invite clots
So don’t delay and say:
‘Please Doc can you stop a clot this day?’

SCDs Silence the Clot
‘Please, please sir’ the clot cried!
‘Don’t put those SCDs on, they hurt my pride’
The nurse quickly applied SCDs and rejoiced,
now the clot no longer had a voice
