Doctor's Orders

Physician’s convictions to poison their patients, Procedures with Ether, cold X-Ray stations A thousand scans in milligrams, Lobotomies and Amputations… Surgeries to transform me, Imperfections to augment Blood Transfusions, concussions, contusions- For just a small improvement!

Chan The Man This is a brilliant and intriguing write. You captured what medical procedures and doctors are all about. Nice job my friend Hugs Thanks for the awesome comment on my Love Lies poem.

*blush* I wouldn't say it's brilliant; it's borderline doggerel, but I sincerely appreciate the compliment nonetheless; thanks, Sweet Pea! :)

I'm not really sure what else to do with it, Danesh. It was written in a mental ward and I was heavily medicated. Not sure I can recapture that feeling now; it would be forced, and that wouldn't work. I'm happy you are reading and reviewing so many of my pieces; I really do appreciate it :)
