Question: Have you said thank you to a doctor today, or any day!?
Medical Miracle
by C!.S!. Scotkin

I ran fingers over
the scar on your chest,
fading away
to a bad dream
half remembered
then forgotten
when morning
eyes open!.

I bless the surgeon
who held your heart
so tenderly
so skillfully
in his hands
then returned it
with all
your love intact!.

Can I thank you C!.S!. Scotkin!?
for writing that for usWww@QuestionHome@Com

Y'know I like this because you can tell that you felt and meant every word of it!. Having said that the two lines, short as they are: "so tenderly, so skillfully" is a bit of a cliche and I'm hoping that you could write that!.!.!.!.!.better!.

Even if you'd said it, "so tender and skillfully, then returned - -" Because saying that he, the surgeon, held it, well, that kind of makes, "in his hands" redundant!.

Just a thought!. (But that would mess up your eight line stanza though, huh!?)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, I do thank my natural muscle-test doctors who really know the art of working with the body!.

Honestly as lovely and appreciative as your poem is, I have not appreciated the MD doctors who always rely on antibiotics and WAY too married to the pharmaceutical drug companies to cure instead of being knowledgeable of natural cures and prescribing them!. Even with a heart job - did your doctor tell you about CoQ10 and the hawthorne herb that greatly helps build your heart!. There are other trace minerals also that are crucial to your heart!. He gets a lot of money for doing the surgeries!. I have a chiropractor who muscle tests and can detect my heart weakness AND determine also which natural supplements are what my heart needs so my heart can correct itself!. As lovely as your poem is, there are better ways of treating heart conditions!. Diet is a major one!. Remove white flour and sugar and corn syrup from your diet!. Any time doctors try to give me drugs, I tell them no--I am not synthetic and there are way too many side effects that cause further problems!. Doctors know this yet continue to short-change the hope of good doctoring!.

Still, I am very glad for you that your husband lives and has survived this major operation!. God bless you both very much with great love for each other and beyond!. Your poem is lovely!. I just happen to think Americans are duped into the medical community's usual protocols!. I could be wrong and this was the only best method for your husband!. I would hope that others try different approaches, though, first!.

I do thank my doctor(s)!. I thank them for caring for me in a professional yet personal manner!. I have also fired a few of them and sent reports of them to the AMA!. A doctor is someone we need to respect, and when we get quacks prescribing things that hurt rather than help, they need to be stopped before someone dies!. At Christmas time each year each of my doctors receive a goody basket containing homemade candies, fudge, brittle, and cakes!. None of them say no to these rich treats, but my primary care doctor doesn't imbibe, so she re-donates the treats to the children's ward at the hospital!. The ward also gets a king sized basket from me!. Our doctors keep us around for our loved ones, so yes, they need to be thanked at every visit!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I had to have surgery several years ago for a problem not all too uncommon among males my age!. The surgeon who performed the operation was one of the best in his specialty in the United States if not the world!.

I am proud to call him my friend as well as one of my doctors!. The surgery was necessary, urgently needed and also greatly increased my comfort!. I thank him every time I see him--about once every six months!.

I thank him with a happy smile and a "How are you today doctor"!?
I thank him when it is him that I always go to year in and year out!.
I thank him with a hand shake for sparing the time to see me!.
I thank him for his kind understanding manner!.
I thank him for his patience when he finds that I had no need to see him!.
I thank him by calling him "Doctor"!.
I thank you for a wonderful poem!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
