The Doctor Has Left the Building

Come in Doc, stay a while and please close the door.
Your pills aren't workin..still sore...what? Take more?

Whaddya mean, "Don't worry"?
Why are you in such a hurry?

You just barely came in,
Now your leavin' again!

How much? Thanks for the break, but that bill's still pretty sour!
Been here two minutes...That's makes it 6000 bucks an hour..

Pardon me, what's that you say?
Yes,.... do have a nice day...

The Doctor Has Left the Building.

Don't you love the big shiney cars they drive? Have to say I'm so glad I don't see one too often. You hit the nail on the head in this Robert!

Funny stuff Robert! I can identify...Sometimes I feel like I'm on an assembly line (Next!) and they NEVER fail to mispronounce my name!...Congratulations and thanks for the encouraging comments - Tim

It really does seem like they make the kind of money you describe and spend very little time with patients. Love your poem! Many of the Soup's best humor writers provided a lot of laughs. There were many great entries and it was hard ranking them as each one gave me a laugh. Congratulations on your win! Love, Carolyn

You nailed it!!! I waited an hour and a half just this week....the doctor came in, and stayed 10 minutes. No wonder my blood pressure is high!!! LOL !! Well said, Robert!!
