Panagiota Romios Poet I do not know?

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!

Panagiota Romios November 14, 2019 at 1:36 PM 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!

Lindsay Laurie November 13, 2019 at 5:08 PM 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 Panagiota Romios November 13, 2019 at 8:26 PM Have been thinking of you, Lindsay. Hope the fires have lessened. Oh, the joy of an MD like mine is incomparable.... Most of my life..overrun with arrogant prigs! You know what I mean! We are not chattel, PR
