The Mayo Clinic!!

Are you feeling ill - And no one really knows why

They’ve done all the tests - But keep sending you to the next guy

He takes your blood sample - Without saying a word

Then listens with his stethescope - But what has he really heard!!

Your pain doesn’t lesson - Maybe it’s this or that

No one is really certain - Just another hollow caveat

You really are fed up - While blinded with the pain

It’s costing you big money - That’s going down the drain!!

Finally a referral - Off to the Mayo Clinic you go

Fifteen hundred patients a day - You just feel that they’ll know

They also draw out your blood - You think, no, not again

But you follow the program - And you never, never complain!!

There’s x-rays and scans - Everyone there has a smile

They explain what they’re doing - Always going that extra mile

Today you must fast - For a test in the afternoon

Next they need a specimen - So then you eat a big prune!!

Your staying at the Kahler - A hotel right next door

Everyone is polite - Always asking if they can do more

People from all over the world - Greet you with a friendly nod

Your all kindred spirits - No one puts up a facade!!

You’ve talked to the internist - Who scheduled all the tests

You’ve seen a total of ten doctors - The best of the very best

You’ve been walking the tunnels - Three and a half long days

You’ll find out tomorrow - What the internist has to say!!

Your wait is finally over - The internist begins to explain

You have nothing serious - But there’s a reason you’re in pain

He tells you all the options - And what he’d recommend

He’ll set up your surgery - And be there to attend!!

And now three weeks later – Being now totally pain free

You’ve been given a clean bill of health - Just like he said it’d be

You’re watching what you eat - And happy for each day

If anyone mentions medicine - The Mayo Clinic is the only way!!
