Found Poem

At my place of employment, patients are required to fill out a series of forms when they come in for their appointments. To make the days more interesting, I like to read the forms as I staple them together. I put together a poem from one woman's answer to the request "please describe your current symptoms."


right side
stabbing pain

middle
burning

all guts sometimes stabbing
sometimes cramping

always getting worse

I swear, I am totally within the HIPAA privacy rules! No names. I do break HIPAA rules all the time at work though; it's a complicated system.

I think that poem best descibes how I felt at work today. I would love to read more of these Polly.
