Trust and Diagnosis

They have a high stake in your illness
they give cures that last a life time
worst than dieing patients -
the ones who never visit
there's more to being a doctor
than hanging a sign on a shingle.

There are loans galore to refinance
mortgages and country club advisers
divorced spouses and high end lovers
toys and Rolex watches

It's the profession Hippocrates built and spooked
tricky craft, the likes of fortune tellers
the likes of bloody butchers
but far away more perilous.

There's hell to pay the wicked healer.
