Discharged, Or Distressed?‘It's not on the discharge notes!' He said, ‘I can't do anything for you at all!' ‘Cor blimey!' I said in disgust, ‘Can't you even make the call?' ‘If it's not written down it isn't so!' The fool of a doctor said to me! I informed him that he was wrong, But the foolish man just couldn't see! ‘The consultant wants to see me!' I said, But nope, he wouldn't be told! ‘It's not in the discharge notes he said!' And me, well I got ruddy bold! ‘I don't care what's in the notes I said!' ‘I'm telling you how it should be!' ‘The surgeon told me, ‘Catherine!' ‘The consultant surgeon you're going to see!' ‘But it's not in the discharge notes!' He said! He was driving me up the wall…! ‘Then get on the phone, sort it out,' I said, ‘Do it! Make that call!' ‘But it's not in the discharge notes!' He said, So the fool just wouldn't give in, So I shuffled home, in a foul mood, And went over the head of him! Straight to the consultants secretary, Told her all this tale, Said I was worried and scared… I was feeling really pale! (So I told her)… ‘But it's not in the discharge notes!' He said! ‘So what on earth am I to do?' ‘Don't you worry she told me, chill!' ‘We will sort it all out for you!' A bombastic bolshy doctor of a man! Who the hell does he think he is at all! Well makes no matter to me now, He's going to get a call!!! Cos it's not in the discharge notes!!! But they were! Now my lovely consultant, Adrian, Told me; ‘Catherine, don't you fret!' ‘Cos I'm sending him a letter!' ‘He's not heard the last of me yet!' I told him though, I said; ‘Adrian, he will not listen to you!' ‘He will ignore what you say!' ‘He does what he wants to do!' I said; ‘He stopped my meds when I joined his list,' ‘Cos I was costing him too much money…' Adrian smiled that cheeky smile… And said, ‘Catherine, don't you worry!' He smiled at me, as one does, And at once picked up his pen… He said… ‘Don't you worry, it's sorted kid!' ‘Oh wow!' I said, ‘Amen!' So he put it in a letter, And sent it along to him! Wow, did he make it clear or what! I sat with a great big huge, wide grin! Poetic justice I believe, Isn't that just great! I can't wait till he gets the letter… Won't he be the one in a state!!! P.S. I just thought that I would add… An epilogue to this tale so true… I got myself great new doctor's! And I'm no longer feeling blue! WAY TO GO ADRIAN! Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem |
