How to carry on to be a true doctor?

 

Wiped sweat from the forehead,

breach d’ medical ethics everyday

d' cesareans, done left and right,

parties force and Drs have no say

Throw d' forceps across d' room,

irk, scream at the nurse, no harm

but the ethical levels, at a decline,

doctors no more d' model of charm

A quick money-making d' passion,

no innate sense of compassion

big robbers found in white coats

moral standards vaporized, gone!

 

 As urged by d' famed astrologer,

for the cesarean, he agreed upon

skipped the auspicious date-time,

the offhand labor oddly happened

Baby got stamped as a preemie,

and then dumped into an incubator

but able to inhale ample breaths,

no signs told, its lungs immature

 

Born at 34 weeks, too premature,

put on light rays, set nursing care

the terrified parents, over-anxious,

be able to sustain life's adventure?

But d' sister upbeat, she assured,

the preemies prove to be smarter

will navigate d' early days evenly,

shows its pursuits and d' behavior

 

Modern ladies enjoy d' autonomy,

settle on a choice for a cesarean

why endure d' long hours of labor,

and a hurting vaginal delivery pain

To evade a vexing labor procedure,

cesarean designed, they don't need

lucrative for d' Gynecologist also,

a fine financial incentive indeed

 

Late-night toil, no peaceful sleep,

d' progress often quite uncertain

more time in Hospital, less for family,

a watchful hold-up anxiety-ridden

A cash gain scope if a cs creates,

why pass over and not go ahead

many a Drs advise the procedure,

even though medically unjustified

 

To choose a birth time, a gimmick,

d' destiny, future, can't be altered

can't put all odds in reverse gear

stupid to ensure a safe hereafter

Ensuing haps cannot be forced

health, wealth & triumph together

can't buy a gold cage to lock up,

the fortune of the child, his future

 

Great souls can decide their fate,

gain positive vigor from the stars

defy the chosen day and timings

no astrology applies to their birth

D' stargazers keep on computing,

all calculations go null and void

they select their suitable instant,

ascertain to attain a status gifted

 

Inscribe d' lines on own forehead,

beyond astrology, all estimations

if a determined desire to be born,

the episodes happen on their own

The exhausted Dr felt utterly upset,

kid's face flashed again and again

serene but committed to coming out

premature, even in a frail condition

 

Unable to suck and swallow rightly,

in no shape to take a breastfeed

fed only with d' pumped-out milk,

just to conciliate its current need

but takes adequate spoon feeds,

too sure to top up its tiny tummy

snoozes more than full-termers,

super-sleepy guy of his mommy

Gets up, does a li'l extra exercise,

d’ slender limbs look hyperactive

to build up d' feeble musculature,

and make the slim bones revive

 

 

cesareans, easy, money-fetching,

hint the mom-babe duo's life, risky

no time to assess d' actual status,

for safety, d' party trust d' advocacy

Baffling, that things won't improve

a cacophony of confusion, emotion

his valued life turned upside down,

who's he, what he wishes to become

Went to d' temple to weep in silence,

mood flattening, thoughts cloudier

forced for such immoral practices,

how to carry on to be a true doctor?
