Doctor! Doctor!

Symptoms without disease,

Are false alarms,assaulting the patients.

Disease without Symptoms 

Is a failed alarm,freezing their lives.

Doctors exist not for the disease,

But for the patients;

As patients exist not for the doctors, 

But to downsize their diseases.

Drugs are the draconian tools,

Dangling like the sword of Damocles,

Against both the patients and their sickness.

Surgery theatrically cuts short,

The distance between disease and recovery.

Hospitals grow,multiplying diseases,

At the cost of painstruck patients,

Or patients,in the name of diseases.

Science is always greedy to invent.

Medical map makes out fresh designs.

Doctor!Doctor!will the diseases shrink?

Will human health be ever in the pink?
