What is Medicine's mission <br />does it care for your health? <br />For the modern physician <br />it is transfer of wealth. <br />First they add all their magic <br />to the foods, so they keep, <br />then they sing of the tragic <br />and so ill-conceived sleep. <br />Not a day can be gotten <br />no extensions to life, <br />when the apple is rotten <br />fermentation is rife. <br />Put true food in your belly <br />do not trust men of greed, <br />let the backdoor be smelly <br />it is faith that you need. <br />All the merchants of potions <br />who will charge for their wares, <br />harbour sinister notions <br />under stockmarket shares. <br />So take charge of your journey <br />but beware and don't mock <br />any pain at McBurney <br />run, don't walk to your doc. <br /> <br /> <br />Note: <br /> <br />McBurney's point is located on the right side of the human abdomen between the umbilicus and the anterior superior iliac spine. It is closer to the ASIS and may signal appendicitis as it is overlying the attachment of the appendix to the cecum.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/medical-rambling/
