On Hearing from My General Practitioner (CTG)
On Hearing from My General Practitioner
Lamentably, the appointment proves not face to face
but pandemically remote: "How are you, Mister George?"
It's a bad line. I can hardly hear him, so I keep requesting
that he repeat what he's just said. I want my hearing tested
and he hears that much, says he will send me a referral,
wants me to take other tests to monitor my diabetes.
I'd prefer the appointment to be hands on, even masked
and this time without the intimacy of a prostate exam!

hello!
I've had a couple of "computer medical visits" and I very much prefer an "in-person" visit. this covid crap is a pain in the you-know-where! I like your poem...keep on writing and posting.

I'm sure...
he knows where Cat, if he's had a prostate exam! LoL
I agree George, having virtual exams are not the same thing as an In-person- exam. Funny piece of work and I agree about the prostate exam too! [Did you ever notice that these doctors that insist on them, have fingers the size of sausages?]. ~ Geez.

funny but not in a ha ha way
unfortunately verbal tests are an agony. My doctor always asks to see me in person

I was reminded of “Industrial Disease” by Dire Straights
Only this is a pandemic version...
Love the tongue in cheek nature of it.
