OK they don't know what's wrong, so at least we can smile
The Examination.
Whew I'm exhausted, I'm flat, what do you think of that!!
I've been pummelled, poked and prodded from front to back,
The doctors have scratched their heads and gathered around,
And various parts of me they continue to pound,
I've been scanned, rescanned, xrayed and ultra sounded,
At times by doctors many , i've been surrounded,
Gathhering in groups they discuss the merits of my case,
And to their confusion , every thing seems to be in place,
It seems they've never had a case like mine before,
To their text book pages they go to explore,
Wheezes and sneezes, coughs and various maladies
And once again could i tell my symptons please.
It was only going to be a simple examination,
Now it appears to be something that will shock the nation,
They apologise and thank me for my compliance
But they still don't know what it is and I remain a challenge, to medical science.

You have a delightful sense of humor, be well soon.
Sad, isn't it? That happened to my hubby also. He went to the hospital a couple of months ago, they all couldn't find anything wrong with him. Every test came out normal, and yet he's still feeling bad. Seems like the doctors don't know much nowadays.
A humorous look at the world and life through my eyes.
Follow the author and his wife, as they travel the world …. several times over.
Laugh at their funny stories, self-inflicted crazy events, strange observations, wacky zoo facts and snippets
