This poem was first performed on The James Whale Show in 1995. With a post-pub Eurotrash crowd in mind, my friend Johnny Law and I performed the piece wearing nothing more than surgical gowns and silly haircuts. Given the intended constituency, it's rude and lewd. Inspired by newspaper reports of the time, claims that patients were faking illnesses in order to make their erotic surgical fantasies come true, we thought a poem on the subject would be right up Mr Whale's alley...so to speak 

These sketches were written with my good friend and writing partner, Essi Berelian. Some were recorded and broadcast, some were recorded and not broadcast, and some were not used at all! They were all good fun to write at the time (1998-1999). Somehow Roy Hudd's 'topical knob gags for pensioners' style struck a chord with us. When reading these through it helps to imagine Roy, June Whitfield and Chris Emett going through their fruity comedy paces.
