David Smith Poet I do not know?

I Owe My Doctor Big Time

Given he choice between winning the lottery,
And changing my Doctor,
I'd stick with the Doctor I have.

There is only one other I have more faith in than my Doctor,
To get to the bottom of any health issues I may have.
He always orders the right tests,
And goes easy on the pills. 

All the money in the world,
Is no good if your Doctor is a pill pusher,
With the belief that being overwhelmed,
Is the same as being depressed.

I shudder to think where my health would be at,
If my Doctor was not my Doctor.

I am halfway through my Chemotherapy, 
Mainly due to my Doctor,
Who went to bat for me, to overturn a refusal,
On the request for a colonoscopy,
Without which I would not have even started Chemotherapy.
