Medic Care

Hey, Doc
  You're on the clock
Ten patients an hour 
  You could use a cold shower

No time to waste
  Diagnose with great haste
But don't a tumor mistake
  For a plain old headache

At the end of the day
  You add up your pay --
Insurance is covered
  Go home to your lover

Seems to be two things being said here. The last being that the doctor has no worries...his worldly cares being taken care of. We must put our trust in God. Many do trust the doc to their detriment. We must be an advocate for ourselves and our loves ones. (Am I talking too much...lol) ;)

Great comment, that I happen to agree with 10,000%! Trust a doctor?! Not on my life, literally!... 'Nuff said for now. And keep those in-depth comments coming, by the way. Love reading what you have to say!Have a great Friday, Kim! ~ Gershon

Sorry to hear that South Africa's turned doctors into stopwatch data entry clerks too. Oh, well... As the world turns. Thanks for the comment, JP! ~ GW

This jazzy poem may male a doctor smile, and it made me smile too.

Gershon, I love this poem about the cares and concerns of a busy doctor. The rhyming is well done, too. Cheers, Evelyn

Hey, if you, a master rhymer, are happy with my rhyming, then I must have done something right! Thanks, Evelyn. Smiles, Gershon
