The Doc Is A Cock
I sat in the clinic
I sat there all day
With nothing to do
And nothing to say
I sat there all morning
Just watching the clock
Because when I turned up
The Doc was a cock
When he saw me arrive
His door shut in my face
That Doc didn't want me
Right there in that place
So I sat in a chair
That was there by the door
And I waited and sat
And I waited some more
That chair I was in
Felt as hard as a rock
But I couldn't just leave
Cos the Doc was a cock
I knew that he'd badmouth me
All over town
I knew that he'd fail me
Not with a frown
But with a self-satisfied
Smirk on his beard
Which was just the expression
That everyone feared
So I made myself stand up
And go back to knock
On the door of the Doc
Who was such a big cock
He opened the door
When he saw me he sneered
Then he smirked all the way
From his toes to his beard
"Oh please let me in
to your clinic" I cried
"For I've heard you have
Marvelous patients inside"
"With murmurs to hear
And lungs to percuss
And hist'ries bizarre
That they'd like to discuss"
But the Doc was a cock
He said (just to be mean)
That I was the worst student
He'd ever seen
"You have not even seen me
Your claim is a crock"
Then he laughed in my face
Cos the Doc was a cock
But then he relented
Invited me in
Brought in a patient
And said "Let's begin"
"Perhaps you can tell me
From one simple look
From the moment you saw him
Why this man is crook"
I had no idea
I would have to fly blind
So I said anything
That came into my mind
"Is it Anderson syndrome?
Or arthrogryposis?
Moya-moya disease?
Or perhaps ichthyosis?"
"I know Miller's and Larsen's
And Marfan's and Plott's and
A whole host of others
Like Saethre-Chotzen"
"Perhaps it is Patau's
Perhaps Laurence-Moon
Or Pierre-Robin syndrome
Or Mounier-Kuhn"
When I looked at the Doc
His face had gone red
And I thought I saw steam
Coming out of his head
He showed me the door
And then turned the lock
But I really don't mind
Cos the Doc was a cock

Bad day at the office hon?
This is just brilliant.
Straight to the greatest blobs collection.
gold, Gold, GOLD!
Have you ever thought that paediatrics might be more your gig? Dougie Howser was never rude to his interns.
(Please tell me you can quietly post a hard copy under the door of Doc Cock on your last day?)
This is simply amazing.
P.S you're much taller in real life than your blog makes out.
1. You need to re-read my Iron-Clad Disclaimer(tm)
2. Thank you! It was a labour of love to come up with a rhyme for Saethre-Chotzen.
3. I am interested in paeds - I'll find out later this year whether it's for me.
4. People often say that to me, presumably because I have such big ideas. Sorry I didn't realize who you were, by the way. I blame our mutual friend, who I feel did not adequately convey the import of the situation.
This is the best poem... I love it and it still makes me laugh!! Would love to know who DR Cock with the beard actually is.. sounds like another interminable day in 4th yr.
