Patient Denies

The doctor was one I’d not met. Her thoughts about treatments were set. I didn’t agree So her questions to me Were the kind I would rather forget. But the one thing that I did surmise Was that she was convinced I told lies For when I answered “No” To some queries she’d throw Her report stated, “Patient denies.” What most bothered me, reading her notes Was the comment (I’ll put it in quotes): She “appears stated age” Maybe so, but I’d wage Her demeanor won’t get many votes.
