An Ode To Dr D

In modern times, it’s oh, so rare,
To find a doc who seems to care,
Yet I’ve met one beyond compare
And that is Dr. D.*

He’s patient, kind and oh, so smart.
What really makes him stand apart
Is his compassion, from the heart;
No one would disagree.

The oath he took says, “Do no harm”
And lucky, when I broke my arm,
His knowledge, expertise and charm
Were (yay!) bestowed on me.

*Dr. Aleksey Dvorzhinskiy

And Dr. D might even say "I'm not sure" or "I don't know" when that's the case - a sure sign of a wise man!
