Medical Student's Poem #1

[Lorenzo]

By: Albrando Lorenzo Salise Salvo Lucino Jr.




With stethoscope around my neck
with white coat on my shoulder,
I begin to check heart rate.

Serious mode.
Academic mode.

Diagnosis
Prognosis
RX recommendation
Next.

Yet you stutter my plate of armor.
My stoicism
My conservative appearance

You smiled and giggled.

What's in a giggle?

I don't know
but it forced me
to
smile.

How can i not smile back?
At such a beautiful thing..

Back to work.
Shall we?
