Poem Of Worth Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Posters of diabetes, glycemic goals, new tests for heart disease and nerve damage, standing brightly aglow on exam
room walls, awaiting patients with nothing better to do
than read them.
So much data and information soaking their brains - not
much is retained as people walk out into the hallway.
Armed with knowledge instantaneously forgotten, how does anyone benefit from the poster's information?
In steps the doctor to explain in layman's terms what is expected, how to follow directions and final results of
all the tests.
A patient's hero - or not - a daily regime of praising
or disliking him for numerous reasons.
Doc's a funny guy with a sense of humor, wanting to be
written about in poems of worth.
