Medical Care

Sometimes, when I’m exasperated by
The treatment I receive from my doctors
I think of my great grandmother Daisy
Who, with several others, was killed by hers

Her whole life, Daisy didn’t trust doctors
In her eighties she was convinced to go
She was put on a lethal dose of drugs
So were several other patients who died

Because my great grandma was the oldest
She received the least amount of money
In the class-action lawsuit that followed
The doctor lost his license to practice

But all those families lost someone they loved
Because of his negligence with the their lives
