Laughing With You

“Rate, rhythm, axis…” I try to be systematic
All of these p-waves are inverted
The patient likely has significant atrial pathology
The fellow looks over my shoulder, I hear a giggle
The EKG leaves my hands “It’s upside down”
I make another attempt, red face,
20th year of school, sometimes as silly as the 2nd
