Risk Premium In Medicine Poem by michael spangenberg

In the noble science and art
of managing other people's hard-earned savings
asset portfolio's from Fortune-500 dividend stocks to
young startup companies like fmr Apple & Google
risk premium is the return in excess
of what an investment is expected to yield
it compensates investors who tolerate the 'extra risk'
compared to that of a given industry benchmark
for example, high-quality issued by established
corporations earning large profits have very little
risk of default, Therefore, such bonds pay lower yields
than bonds issued by unproven companies with
uncertain profitability and relatively higher risk.

- No pain no gain
calculated risk is taking by investment bankers
and doctors, nurses in surgical theaters
is there a risk premium in medicine?
they say 'extraordinary disease requires
extraordinary medicine'
surgeons act accordingly
If and when severity of illness justifies
extraordinary risk is warranted, and taken
to cure life-threatening diseases
this creates extraordinary health returns
for the patient and the family
at the required risk premium
a salary raise for Mr. Hippocrates
graced with the right downside
risk-tolerance and appetite.
