Too Many Cooks

If a broth can be spoiled 
By too many cooks
That advice can, as well, be applied
To a patient consulting 
With too many docs
To determine what problem's inside.

Each one hopes he can help 
But conflicting reports 
Put the questioner into a tizzy
And the tests and the labs 
And the visits combine
To add one more new symptom - that's dizzy.

Frustration and pain, though,
In tandem, demand
A solution that might not be easy.
Still, stepping on somebody's
Toes may result
In discomfort that borders on queasy.
