Three Chinese Cheers For Doctors

Once you're in the hands of doctors you might as well be dead They'll test you, poke you and probe you drive you out of your head Then when they're finally through they'll announce what you already knew 'You're experiencing significant pain and discomfort' ~ which is probably why you're turning blue

Greetings Gershon, This the best of daily apples, your poem will keep them practicing, though doctors may never reach perfection. Reminded me of another man's doctor. "Is it true that you smoke eight to ten cigars a day?" "That's true." "Is it true that you drink five martinis a day?" "That's true." "Is it true that you still surround yourself with beautiful young women?" "That's true." "What does your doctor say about all of this?" "My doctor is dead." -George Burns

And in my experience...they'll mis-diagnose you over and over and over... So true, great pen.
