A DOCTOR’S LOVE POEM

You are my antidote

You are my oxygen;

You are my only diagnosis

I lack differentials for you;

How my amygdala gets aroused

When you are around;

My prefrontal cortex

Has no chance against my limbic system;

I love thy ectopic beats

When my pupils see you from a far;

I can’t explain the tachycardia too;

You make me cool

As diazepam does to a convulsing infant;

How I enjoy the atmosphere with you

Till I wonder if you a bronchodilator

Salbutamol or Ipratropium;

If I get intoxicated

Tell them not to atropinize me

My atropine is you;

Without you my life is incomplete

Like a history with no HPI;

And as the definite treatment of pre-eclampsia is delivery

The definite management of my life is to marry you

Delivering thyself unto you;

And if I develop CCF

Let them not use Framingham criteria

You are my number one criteria;

You are my only choice;

Like the popliteus muscle unlocks the knee joint

I unlock my cardiac tissue

And give my life to you.

I LOVE YOU.
