Relationships with Doctors

Relationships with doctors
Can be awkward, even though
You discuss the same old problems
Every time that you may go.

Yet if you have a physician
You have seen for many years,
All self-consciousness and tension
Somehow quickly disappears.

He’ll remember all your symptoms – 
Be they serious or not – 
And will take his time explaining
What you have or haven’t got.

There might even be some jokes about
Appointments in the past
And you realize that you’re lucky,
For such bonds so rarely last.

As my other docs retired
Or switched practices on me,
I feel grateful I’m connected, still,
To my same old G.P.*

Premium Member I lied to my doctor

I lied to my doctor

Hospital, my general practitioner, helped me two weeks ago.
They asked, what happened? Pain heart, strong heart beating
But why? They asked. Nervous Exhaustion, sleep disorder.
                                                                     This was my answer

I lied, was not only these are all the problems. Yes. The pain of my soul
Yes, but everything is okay with my health, only the stress of love
Doctors helped me, so my life is okay. Okay?? Let's continue!

Live to live, life to live, live the life. You will search for me, believe it!
Oh, yes, you don’t care about my pain and health. Waiting for my death?
Yes, I know, because I am in the way of your life, and you can not
                                                                       put me away

I will find someone because I can not delete you from my memory
A lady, and will love her, I give her all my feelings what is yours
Se will get my life, and me, and everything. I will love her, please
                                                                                    monitor it

My doctor will cure me

The Last

When the Last milkman
Puts the last
Quart of milk
In the last milkbox,

And the last
General Practitioner
Makes the last
house call

And the last
mousetrap
is invented,

The last sea
 is crossed
The last hope
 is lost

And the last
human thought 
has faded
Into eternity

The last shot
has been fired

The last 
death rattle
Rattled

The last
secret tattled

The last martini
served

My love 
will still last
My heart 
will still
hold fast

For the
shadow 
Eternity 
does cast
Has met
it's match
at last.
