At the Hospital

At the hospital (nurses and doctors) Been to see the diabetes doctor first, we had to see the nurse who did the physical aspect. The nurse said I had lost 2 kilos which was pleasing to hear; the last time I met her, she looked worse for wear coming up to the surface of a night depravity and her uniform looked crumbled. Doctors, nowadays, consult their computers to see how you feel tapping away, like a secretary. My doctor, a small, slim woman, had been to the beach she had lovely fingers; she wore pumps I didn’t think much of but her ankles were elegant as her fingers. Finally, she gave me some new tablets I will probably not use I noticed she had a copy pen on the desk, given to her by a medical supplier, not that I mind… My God, those pumps!
