Perhaps the part that Bharati found hardest to believe is that you could actually read your doctor's handwriting!

It is amazing what sort of insights practitioners can pick up from patients! Being a paramedic myself I have picked up one or two : ) Thank you for sharing this! It is always a pleasure to read your brilliant works! ! !

I didn't consider it brilliant. I just wrote it as it happened. I was surprised when I saw him taking notes. Thanks for commenting.

Well done. Doctors really don't know everything. Usually they are very good, but occasionally they make costly or deadly mistakes. I think what your cardiologist learned from you could possibly benefit many others!

I hope so. The blood thinner is expensive, and if you can skip a dose once in a while and still have good health, you can save money.

A clever poem with an interesting subject! Indeed, doctors really don't know everything, despite their long years of schooling, I've learned!
