The Medics Saga...reflections on diagnosis

The nerves are quite rattling me,
I'm getting quite unnerved,
A week away decision time,
I know its quite absurd....

"There can't be any changes,
The answers just the same.
So go away and live a life,
But do come back again".

"Its quite a simple question,
Like one & one make two.
We know all the combinations,
Just not how it applies to you."

"Our art is not a science,
We cannot read the runes.
We only know , you're doing fine,
Keep dancing to our tune."

"We can quote to you statistics,
Know factual stuff galore.
But when it comes to life & death,
Our knowledge is quite poor."

"We can't predict the future,
We don't have certain fact.
You are the unknown factor,
To keeping you intact."

"For all our seeming science,
And juggling of the data.
Our drugs will only treat in part,
Your will, will keep life later."

"So don't ask us all the questions,
Don't think we know the way.
That's in your own self power.
Each year, each month, each day."

"We have to save the patients.
We have to make them fit.
Us medics, limitations,
We only know a bit."

We conjure up our potions,
Repair, restore & heal.
The secret is not science.
Live life, live love...live real."
