Is this what the ER is all about?
Is this what you experience when you go to the ER?



The ER Blues
by Barbara Lynn Terry


When you know something isn't right
you go to the ER and spend all night
having them poke and prod, prod and
poke, draw blood, have x-rays, CT scans
ekg, ecg, blood pressure, pulse, oxygen
levels, and even the odd and very rare
pill to help the pain.
But what was it that I have gained?
Just absolutely nothing and I remain
in abject misery and awful pain.
Why do they always have an excuse
to give me these ER blues?
