Trip To the Er

Enter the cavernous chamber
Met by the paperwork__you know the clipboard
Enter all this information first right here
Remember we need address, SS#__So we can trace you
Good we've got all that so now we'll treat you
Enter the little room with a I don't care nurse
Now I want to know what would equal good care
Care that would keep you coming back
Yeah! We want return visits not wellness

Room without view
Occupied by much equipment
Opposite of home's comfort
Much anxiety

Ouch! I hate the ER department. I love Grey's Anatomy but only because of the handsome beefcake roaming the hall of that ER. Ha! Hope this poem is fiction. Well wishes of mine go out to you and your family after reading this poem.
