Waiting rooms prolong the gloom of impending doom

It’s certain to be cancer,
or something I ate,
perhaps the undigested bile
of someone I hate

Mostly it’s the Nazi gnome
his domain his practice
he assumes godlike power
by the hour
demeanour sour.
He treats you like a slacker liar
but I’ve got better things to take
than his unearned ire.

I’m gonna get the prick,
I know where he parks his wheeled penis
slashed tyres and a brake fluid paint job
may just make him consider this

Don’t fuck with me.

Thanks fink

Haven't you ever felt like taking revenge on the arrogant way most doctors treat us? Not just our bodies but making us wait at least half an hour past appointment time.
Healer, heal thy ego.

I enjoyed...

your rant and the way that you put it together. No real criticisms other than the generalization of doctors and their attitude. But that should be left out of any critique about your work. ~ Geezer..

No, go for it.

To me what I say is as important as how I say it. Like it says in my signature.
If you disagree with me say so and why.
I'm open to other people's thoughts and to squashing them like bugs in an argument!

do come in

i'll pull your strings,
you'll bury things
and treasure me the map.
x marks the spot
where you will rot
and I turn on the tap,

cheers!

Best wishes....val.

and by the way

methinks this poem you penned
should be sent to a doctor i know
the one who was running way late
causing me too long of a wait
waiting is something i hate.....
so, i left!

This subject causes me endless irritation too

Have you ever thought of counter-billing? Send the doctor an invoice for your time wasted in the waiting room, and charge it at their hourly rate.
I've done it, with and without strong language and graphic threats of violence, never received a response but it may make them think a bit.
