Doctors’ Day 2007 Poem by Dr John Celes
Doctors’ Day 2007
Behind a man who’s successful,
There is a woman of great worth;
Behind a woman of great fame,
There is a man who goads her on.
Behind a pupil studious,
Are parents, teachers and some friends;
Behind a child who brings laurels,
Are seen the family-members all.
Behind a doctor of repute,
Is found much labor and wisdom;
Behind a healer who is great,
God stays, blessing his healing art!
The doctors’ profession is great;
Ennobled, they must change the fate
Of patients suffering, in pain,
And dying undiagnosed, ‘insane’!

A very good read Dr. Celes., with all due respect, Doctors face a very difficult task, I wouldn't want that responsibility but they choose this work. At one time I held them high on a pedestal, I'm sorry to say as of late I do not, this is based on what I've seen after spending so much time in the hospital caring for my husband. I still have a certain amount of respect for them because we certainly do need them in our lives. I believe in natural healing something our Doctor's here in Canada know little about. Excellent poem, very good read.--Melvina--
