The Appointment


 The Appointment 


(A lone happy voice whispers)


I went to the doctor's today

At 9 am for my results appointment 


Like one of those disciples at the last supper

Scared beyond belief


I walked in smiling the widest smile I could conceive


But when she told me 

Relax 

It's all gone

And you're all clear


I then smiled 

With utter relief

Foundation of the piece.


Visiting the doctors or hospital can be such a traumatic time, and one can sometimes put on a brave front.


But when all ends well, have you felt that thrilling pure, unadulterated adrenaline, accelerate through your veins?
