Fetch the sutures and the scissors
It’s time to patch this patient up
Ready, steady the hand that guides
and let us now take haste
But wait, just where does that connect?
Is this a bone meant to be broken?
What of all this spare muscle tissue?
Does this joint hang freely now?
Do I really know the way
this is meant to operate?
Did we get the consent forms
with dotted I’s and all that jazz?
Can I truly say that I know
better than the patient here?
Or am I flying blind again?
Physician, heal thyself He said
Maybe I just forgot to listen…
