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.
