Check-Up Blues

I can't listen to your heartbeat Can you stop the pinging? I keep losing your pulse What's that ringing? When you say 'Ah,' I hear a song Am I doing my job all wrong? Technology is supposed to make things easy I'm afraid it leaves this doctor queasy

Technology is great sometimes but, in creating it, we must remember that not only is it needed but, it should be user-friendly. Well done.

Interesting comment... It seems that techno-geeks create wihout any thought to the consequences,...much as we poets craft our lines with little regard to how they might affect every single person who reads them. What say you?! I'm interested in your thoughts on this. ~ gw

Yes, speaks of the times. So important to lose the gadgets and live in the moment when you are with another human being and especially one that is helping you. Great write, my friend!

You'd think the patients would lose their gadgets, wouldn't you?! :) gw
