Heart rate soaring near stroke level.
But let’s wait,
until you pass out.
Step aside and don’t ask any more questions…
The doctor will see you.
But wait he is busy.
In a revolving door.
Tests check,
watch health television check,
heart monitor check,
get your patience in check.
Escorted to the hall of silence.
Waiting for six hours to be seen.
Tests read; here is some anxiety meds.
Not listening to your patient’s pleas,
for real understanding.
Heart monitor ordered.
But they are not in stock,
get it from your primary care doctor,
on Monday.
Walking out of the ER with,
get out of my face answers.
In the dark parking lot around half past two,
on Saturday morning.
