ALERT: In the U.K. 'surgery' often has 'the meaning of the place where a GP works. In Australia and New Zealand, the place where a GP works is more often called a ‘Medical Centre' or ‘Clinic' or even just ‘Doctors'.' [ G.P. = general practitioner doctor ]
Yes, there are many terms to use to 'see the doctor'. I chose surgery as my medical centre carries out a wide variety of non invasive tests and treatments.
David, you've perfectly summed up the hospital atmosphere. However, last year I had surgery for the very first time...and I feel like a totally new person. I'll take that totally dismal atmosphere any day for a new lease on life!
True picture of surgery room.I really dislike and try my best to avoid visiting hospital because of the boring waiting.Nicely written poem really.
Powerful words....because as you go from one to the the next, you creep closer to truth.
I have undergone a surgery just two months back. As Nosheen has said, Hospital is a sad place in itself. I never like to visit one. Nice poem. Poignant, but good. Top score
A hospital visit is terribly boring. And the wait makes it even worse. A sore reality. The place that is supposed to make you well is actually dismal. Well penned.
Great poem. I love the line about them liking you so much they want you to come back.

Yes, tick, tick is what you'd say in America, but as a poetical expression I was thinking of Salvador Dali's Melting Clocks and 'tip' seemed to drip, drip like a dripping tap. Poetry is another art form just as the impressionist artists were like Dali.
