General Hospital, Marcus Welby, M.D., Ben Casey,
Lately it has been Grey’s Anatomy, House, Scrubs, and Medical Center,
House pops pills, Vicodin preferred, but alcohol is the way the majority go,
No prescription needed, just a tolerance to be drunk.
There is a problem with medical professionals going to work high,
There is a problem with respiratory therapists smoking,
There is a problem when a doctors slips because he or she was under the influence,
Dr. Kevorkian calling, it makes no difference.
Dr. Kildare wouldn’t do such a thing.
Dr. Michael Baden, M.D. finds the cause of death.
On HBO, so does Dr. “G” on The Discovery Channel,
She cuts to the chase without any “bling”.
Maybe the AMA should do what Roman Catholic Church did,
Shuffle the doctors between hospitals,
Doctors like priests,
-have lot healing to do,
With themselves.
