“Doctor's Sonnet A doctor is one who's gentle as a bird, A doctor is one who's brave as a soldier, A doctor is one who's amusing as a clown, A doctor is one who's caring as a mother. Treating the sick is not a comfort job, It is a difficult life without leisure and lure. If all you want are wealth and tranquility, Trade in your medical license for a liquor store. The world is filled with doctors most cold, Many don't practice medicine but self-centricity. Instruments and intellect don't make a doctor, Without warmth all pills lose their efficacy. Healthcare means aid first talk rules later. Better a kindhearted fool than a heartless monster.” PoemDoctorsMedicineDoctorMedical ProfessionDoctors And PatientsMedical EthicsMedical StudentsMedical PracticeHippocratic Oath Book:Handcrafted Humanity: 100 Sonnets For A Blunderful World Source: Handcrafted Humanity: 100 Sonnets For A Blunderful World
