Our Insides

Our insides are inside of us So we don’t have to see That maybe something isn’t quite The way it ought to be. A lump or an obstruction May be lurking out of sight, So doctors order tests just to Make sure that we’re all right. Results can offer comfort If the test results are good, Then those insides can go back To being hidden, like they should.

I am all for keeping the "insides hidden as they should" - smirking now.

How does one reconcile that with those who love a mystery? Doctors are not interested in your health, but in your bank account! Enjoyed, Ilene! Aloha!

How appropriate a write, Ilene! I had a couple of health issue scares this past 2 months but 2 CTs taking a look inside revealed no problems for which I'm very thankful. The docs at Fort Carson Army hospital keep this 92 year old dude patched up to hopefully squeeze a few more years out for me! Bob H

So true, Ilene. But, necessarily, the doctors must look inside to see what's going on.

Boy am I going through the tests and procedures right now! And the technicians never know anything....

When I have any tests done I always ring back for the results and if they're what I want to hear I sleep better. Tom
