Ilene Bauer Poet Limerick

Video Visit

For my video visit by phone
Where my doctor’s and my face were shown
All my questions got asked
And we both sat, unmasked,
In the comfort of places well-known.

We discussed medications and such
Without blood work (of course, there’s no touch)
But my face on the screen
(Ugh! You know what I mean)
Was the part that I hated so much!

Tom Cunningham May 20, 2020 at 4:08 PM Nothing beats the personal touch but I think even after this is over many companies and indeed doctors will do business this way, The new normal they call it, saw the news today someone sentenced to death over video call for drug smuggling. Tom
