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.

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.
