Shame they did not even pronounce Wenkebach right, kinda removes all credibility from the purpose. It is pronounced as Wink-e-bach after the physician, not Wink-a- back..

I don't think that Rid knew that it was a parody of an already existing song. Some paragod pee in your wheaties or something? Rid is GTG in my book.

It would had been humorous if they would had pronounced it right and made some rhyme from the proper pronunciation, since it was produced to be a teaching parody. Unfortunately, as of yet most did not even recognize the mispronunciation so I guess the real humor is on those as well.. if you want to call that funny.

It would be more humorous, if many supposedly health care professionals did not mispronounce words.. but unfortunately it is quite the opposite .

except that it was produced as a teaching parody for the current generation, who can look past the mispronounciation and actually see the humor in the video, not you where if it isnt one hundred percent perfect your all over it like white on rice

and fwiw, this video was produced in canada. some people pronounce things differently...

Perhaps Rid had a bad tour or something. I can't imagine anyone being that uptight about a silly little song and actually being serious.

... or maybe he really is smarter than everyone else in EMS. I for one am hacking away at that pedestal.

Actually, it is pronounced Ven-keh-bach. Karel Frederik Wenckebach was my great uncle and we share the same last name. I didn't mind Diagnosis Wenckebach... thought it was kind of funny. No one ever pronounces our last name properly. Especially those in the medical field. :p
