Modern medicine

Miracles of modern medicine,
They can do wonders today,
They fix you in a wink,
Go and see the doctor,
They all told me,
You'll be fine they said,
Not to worry they repeated.
His first question was not
What brings you here?
But rather the more pragmatic
Do you have any private insurance?
On the negative answer that I gave
My treatment was short
To the point of non existent
And don't forget
In case of emergency 
Go to the hospital!
Not even a good bye
I was given.
Next!
