Ptsd With An Extra P
Although there's a lovely prep nurse
Cystoscopy feels like a curse
The lidocaine gel
Does not mitigate hell
I briefly hoped they'd call a hearse
Author's note: One of life's interesting procedures for some in this civilized country. This does create P-PTSD for some of us. This is a cruel irony of nature. I said to the most kind prep nurse, ''You have an unusual job.'' The response was that she is just there to help. The moral of the story is that staying healthy can be painful sometimes. These procedures are completely routine to the medical profession.
