I just learned some of the details of the Bhopal disaster last week (I knew of it, but didn't know much), and the song immediately reminded me of it. Other wishful thinking in this song would include: 1. The hospital hearing the explosion (at Bhopal, the police weren't alerted until 45 minutes after the leak started, and the hospital wasn't notified until over an hour later. Even then, the factory wouldn't tell them what substance had leaked, and since the facility produced and processed numerous toxic substances, the hospital staff were running blind until they finally got the name of the poison). 2. The efficiency of the response: again, this wasn't the fault of the emergency services; the factory didn't give adequate information on the substance itself, how much had leaked, or when the leak had started, so planning and conducting an appropriate response was impossible. 3. The type of disaster; a factory explosion, even in a facility that employed most of the town, would probably be fairly confined. In Bhopal, hundreds of thousands of people were affected, and although less than 3000 died in the first two days following the leak, a large percentage suffered long-term effects. There's been some very weird cancers in the city since then, which I'm sure Union Carbide would say has nothing to do with that time they accidentally dusted the city with a lethal poison. But yeah, after Union Carbide's response, and the revelations that one of their factories in the US had already been found to be at risk of poisoning the local area (the report on that factory wasn't sent to the Bhopal facility), being forcibly exsanguinated seems like a fairly reasonable punishment.
@@d.b.624 no but there was a hilarious amount of blame pinning over who was at fault,tho both are beyond fucked up tragedies,I've read a few books on bophol and man it was terrifying
Just a little general hospital, in a little factory town. The board put me in charge for mainly keeping prices down. I hadn't touched a patient since 1982, But the day of the explosion I remembered what to do. At eleven in the morning, we all heard the factory blow. The blast took out the windows, and the shrapnel fell like snow. We could get no help from out of town for half a day or more. We had near a thousand casualties and beds for ninety-four. Chorus: And can you keep your head, your backbone, or your heart? We all found out the answer on the day it fell apart. It was worse than combat medicine; supplies were draining fast. Bandages ran out and antiseptics wouldn't last. I took all the able-bodied I could catch inside the door And made them help the doctors to go scrounge supplies and more. I invented laws to tell them saying in such emergency Forget your usual job and boss, your orders come from me. I sent the cops to commandeer anything in reach: Food or disinfectant cloth or alcohol or bleach. The janitor ran cleanup squad, the cook maintained supplies, The garbageman removed the ones who died before our eyes. The clerks burned all our papers to boil water on the fire For sterilizing instruments, as the body count went higher. A local healthfood herbalist brought everything he had. The painkillers were useful, and the poultices weren't bad. A smack and cocaine pusher handed us his whole supply. The quality was lousy, but a few more didn't die.

Then sometime in the chaos, a director wandered in To tell us we were breaking rules, what trouble we'd be in. But if we'd swear the factory was not the fire's cause, And the harm was accidental, he'd forget the broken laws. The staff sneaked up and grabbed him, and tied him to a door. He gave them blood transfusions 'till he hadn't any more. (musical interlude) When that day was over, and we'd saved all that we could, We saw that law and politics would hang us where we stood. We'd saved eight hundred lives but shattered all authority. I told them, "People, save yourselves, put all the blame on me." I took my books and instruments, and a few supplies beside, Packed my car and ran away to open countryside.

And there was no response from Central Command, and no Emergency Response Team. So yes! very relatable song.
*Never time or money to do things right to begin with, but plenty of money to pay people in suits to stand around looking somber as they do the legal 'avoid responsibility and accountability' butt cover dance*
That poor firefighter had to mercy kill those who couldn’t be saved , undoubtedly he used either a Axe or pry bar that man ( if real ) would need serious therapy but saved life’s by taking those who couldn’t be saved
The song is from the perspective of a Factory Town's Hospital director having to perform disaster relief without official approval from the corporate executives that owned the town. They had to break many rules, and use supply from dubious sources to treat 1000 injured people, and because of the choice to break as many rules needed to save lives (Including killing the factory director through bloodletting for transfusions), the doctor chose to become the scapegoat for much of the issues caused and flee
Last time I saw someone say that, I saw a comment seemingly from her herself saying "I have no idea where y'all got that" So... idk if she is or isn't, but let's mostly just not assume that she is based on nothing.
she was always an anarchist of a bit of an off kilter type. probably had or has ties to the (relatively) massive left wing terrorist weatherman group we had bombing stuff back in the day. doesnt change the worth of her music.

800 saved out of 1000 casualties, with beds for 94, is insanely good, by the way.
And the fact they ran out of resources and were undertrained makes it a dang miracle they kept that many alive out of the 1000
The narrator was kept away from patients since '82 because they were so good, they didn't leave any patients for other doctors...

"...And can you keep your hip?

Always loved that line.
Shouldn't that first line read "And can you keep your head?"? Makes a bit more sense in a crisis situation, I think.
Keep your head.
Yours is funnier, but I'm pretty sure she says "head". It also makes more sense in context.
I think everyone hopes that if they get put in a situation like this, that they'll have the courage to do the right thing even if it breaks the law.
The law is subjective, what's right is not.
