My Medical Moonstone

My Medical Moonstone His eyes are a beautiful sea-green. His hair, a combination of grey strewn upon stands of gold. Gentle, a great sense of humor! Who is this man? Why, he is my family doctor! He actually has the ability to laugh and to be himself! Not a conceited man, nor a stiff white coated physician who prances about being debonaire. But even better, reads my poetry. Right there in his office, During an all too short, medical journey. All he can get me to do is have my blood tested. I will not take drugs, nor do any other tests. It's my body, my choice. He allows me to have my voice! He was not an easy find in a new city. But I hope I do die under his care. That type of doctor-patient relationship is so very rare. My "Golden God" doctor! Oh, so human and true. It is no wonder your patients, have the highest respect for you! November 12, 2019

Dear Charmaine, So happy to hear of 22 years with your MD."kind, Sweet and funny". Those actually are healing qualities! I learned not all are like him. So to those like him, will have my honor forever. Nothing like 2 people respecting and caring. Blows me away. Merci, Charmaine!

G'day Panagiota … how true is this verse about having a doctor who treats you as an equal and really cares for his patients wishes. A great verse indeed Panagiota - Lindsay

So cool and to find people that want to read poetry can be rare except in our poetic circles. But I can’t help sharing it anyways ;) You have been a joy to read today! Have you read my poem “gynecologist “ for a laugh.

Charming tribute, Panagiota... but I'm sure your doctor is in no hurry to have you die in his care.
