Simone Composes Poetry As She Assists A Doctor ….. [ Bri's Fantasy Of Nurse / P H Poet Simone Inez Harriman, At Work In A New Zealand Hospital Emergency Department; Humorous]
Doctor: 'Nurse, hand me that hemostat ASAP! '
Simone (thinking) : 'Get it yourself; YOUR hand is free.'
I've got some catching up to do to make a poem, fine.
Here it's work, Work, WORK! The time is not MINE! '
Doctor: 'Simone! A hemostat PLEASE, if I may ask.
I KNOW you're composing, but THESE are your PAID tasks:
....to be at my side to help me save patients' lives,
OR simply to hold a patient's hand, who has ‘burning' hives! '
Simone (thinking) : 'Night shifts in Emergency are TOUGH.
The pay isn't the worst, but it is just barely............enough...
to pay for my petrol for my long drive, TO and then FRO.
AND to add pain to injustice, the doctor just stepped on MY toe! !
Yes! That's a good rhyme and I can hardly wait to jot it down.
I KNOW my work is important, but this one doctor's a clown!
His breath is so bad! Does he eat garlic at each meal of the day?
If he were my man and tried to kiss me, I'd say: 'Not tonight. No way! '.‘

Simone is a conscientious person as far as I know and won't dare to do such a thing. She places much more value to human lives than to poems! However enjoyed the poem as the writer and the person on whom it is written are dear to me!
Dear Bri, Thank you so much for this humorous write. I am so tickled pink having a poem penned about me. Fortunately I am only allocated triage stat 3-5 patients while I learn the ropes in the Emergency Dept. I do think of a few poem ideas when commuting to work. However, at work the pace is so hectic that fatigue itself can be a potential hazard. At work poetry doesn't get a look in except on the way home, which a long drive provides rich reflection and creative ideas for future poems. Only wish that they were as easy to pen...thinking and writing can be islands apart. So thank you again dear Bri...so of course I have to give this one a resounding 10+++++

Good one, Bri! Very funny and original. I think Simone should use text-to-speech while she's working... A couple of years ago I visited the Groote Schuur Hospital museum in Cape Town, SA, where they have reconstructed the scene of the first heart transplant performed by Chris Barnard. We were guided by an entertaining lady who gave us all the background info on the donor, recipient, and, most of all, the doctor. He was a very clever, very determined, very stubborn and, um, very womanizing man. My mom worked with him in that very hospital and spoke of him as an MCP...
