(To the) Practitioners of Medicine!

Practicing Medicine has its allure though it doesn’t always offer a cure healing is an option on a platter take it, or leave it, the choice is yours Over the years, Medicine has changed a personal touch is on the wane technology has taken over empathy has become arcane! Reverence for life is on the back foot! The science of Medicine is ebbing away Art of healing is under the threat The commerce of Medicine is making hay Patients get treated as clients their sufferings- a tool for money laundering the healers sit on pedestals and humanism de-escalating! Compartmentalization is complete a doctor sees the patient in part a physician refuses to see appendicitis and surgeon refers migraine to a neurologist. Medicine is a poem that rhymes it’s music that soothes the nerves it’s a river that flows it’s a plant that flowers Medicine is a hope that gives one smile it’s a remedy that saves lives! Medicine is a science that gets evolved it’s an art that gets humanized!

The practitioners of Medicine need to go back a little should blend technology with humanity or else they will be treating the robots and flatter their vanity!
