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.
