Doctors
Low and behold
Years since I’ve seen you
Don’t know why I expected
Anything more than sterile
Cut and cold
Your nurse was nice
Asked me about my story
I said just enough to paint the picture
But your lab coat tainted my mood
As soon as I saw you
Pills for thrills
Offered up in exchange for sleep
Had to ask if you even read the notes
Your lack of empathy
Could have killed me
Terse in verse
My irritation with you not withheld
Got to treat you like they always did me
Guess that felt like a win but I’m still
Feeling the worst
Left high and dry
Left you sitting there with your vacant stare
But I'm sure you'll enjoy
Collecting my insurance money
Dumbass doctor

What a resonate echo this is; an empty chamber of cold and sterile reality. It disturbed you because you are not the monster you hate, Gem. You are the opposite.

I can most definitely relate! Ever since I had a stroke 5 1/2 years ago, I have seen a steady stream of doctors who have done nothing but prescribe medications that do nothing to fix me. Just remedies o keep me coming back every 3 months to sit and chat and take notes and do nothing but make sure they keep my insurance information up to date...

Cheers to that! I don’t know what I’m going to do as I age and have to regularly see them =\ new healthcare system by then?? Outlook not so good.
Thanks for relating, though sorry you can! :(
Many hugs JJ :)

So much relate to this. Seeing a doctor is definitely a nightmaire for me. I fee the same thing as you, the horror and fear to their lab coats. As what JJ said, they do nothing but just prescribe medicdines and keep me coming back to see them over and over.....
Very nice write even with an anger tone.

Yes this seems to be a universal issue with modern healthcare, even in different countries with differently structured systems.
Thanks for your feedback, it’s nice to know we’re not alone sometimes but I’m also sorry you’ve experienced this treatment as well.

i'm so saddened that you have to deal with this
kind of cold heart reception
in a time of such need..
doctors need to be human
with their patients
& take time to know why the pills are needed..
sending love on this painful write..

Though the docs may be lacking, your sympathy sure makes up for it :)
Thank you my dear friend you always know what to say <3

Yep very low expectations there and was silly to think anything higher of them going into that appointment!
It was much healthier to vent here than to release my anger otherwise (lol)
:))) Many Hugss
