Think of the patient; <br />Hear his cry; <br />With pain and suff’ring, <br />Eyes go dry. <br /> <br />Think of his poor state <br />And his mind; <br />His diseased body, <br />Doctors find. <br /> <br />Think of the patient <br />His travail; <br />Him from agony; <br />None can bail. <br /> <br />Think of the disease <br />Without cure; <br />Man lives for God’s sake: <br />And endure. <br /> <br />Think of his doomed fate; <br />None can change; <br />If drugs still work ’tis <br />From God’s range. <br /> <br />Think of the patient, <br />His family; <br />Can you give succor? <br />For what fee?<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-patient-4/
