The Spinal Frontier (live)
Doctor’s log, day twelve of the human experiment. Patient still screams when touched ... which I find encouraging. Today’s goal: total spinal transcendence. All units prepare for incision protocol… plasma saws primed… disinfectant loaded… This is not a test Scalpels up! Let’s get this right! Somebody hold that rib on tight! They brought us meat from Sector Nine, Said, “Fix the back, he’ll turn out fine!” Slice the back and peel the hide, Locate where the nerves reside. Clamp the bits that start to twitch, Oops, wrong species, flip the switch! Zero-G kicks in too soon, Organs float around the room. Nurse screams, the doctor grins, Catch that spine, before it spins! Oh my god, you cut too deep! Nevermind, he’s still asleep! Is that smoke or patient steam? Either way, he’s now a meme! He’s glowing blue, what does that mean? Probably needs more morphine! This operation’s gone too far! That’s why we’re the best by far! Pop the vertebrae of man, Fixing stuff the best we can! Pain is proof the cure is near, Dare to cross The Spinal Frontier! Vitals spiking, pressure’s low! Turn it off, he’ll never know! He’s flatlining” “NO, that’s the bass! Crank it up, let’s get defaced! Doc, he’s glowing pretty bright! He shouldn’t tho, I’m terrified! His blood’s on fire!” “Well, I am too! Quick ,selfie for the trauma crew! The Spinal Frontier! The Spinal Frontier! The Spinal Frontier! The Spinal Frontier! Come and join us if you dare! Doctor’s log, end of cycle fourteen. Patient outcome: pending Procedure deemed a moderate success Subject now ambulatory ... partially on ceiling. Recommend further study… once the staff stop screaming, for fuck's sake... Doc - out
