Patients.

The reason doctors call us patients

Is very plain to see.

My appointments half past two

And now it's half past three

Squashed into the waiting room

Next a lady who did glare.

In my day if I sat that close,

I'd have to marry her.

At last I hear my name being called

I rise up from my chair.

Follow me the nurse did say,

Then sets off like a hare.

Good grief, I can't keep up with her.

I'm old and far too slow.

There's doors all down the corridor

In which one did she go?

Finally a head pops out

And asks where have I been.

I say my legs are not too good

I thought you would have seen.

So that is how we got our name

Patient is what be are.

A bit more patience all around

Would certainly go far.

Hi there love the poem, but even the most stoic patient can run out of pateince with drs when feeling very ill.

[Hidden in reply to katieoxo60]

I agree and was suggesting that a bit more patience should be shown towards patients

West Cumberland Hospital used to have a sign saying "Patient Waiting Area" which made me laugh. Did they have an "Impatient Waiting Area" too?

IN some countries the elders are looked up to, revered,We could do with just a little bit of that sometimes.
