Angels In Disguise

I worked once in a small town, in a North Indian state,

Where doctors are considered Lord Brahma, the great

Where a doctor is considered as an angel in disguise,

How can he ever do anything unwise?

But patients started coming to me,

Doctor, you need to include more findings you see!

I got scared, I was a little taken aback,

What was that, my reports lacked?

I read a report, a diploma in USG doctor gave,

Oh dear, it was 'imagination' and not imaging at play!!!

Where illiteracy and ignorance rule a place,

Greed and shrewdness find a base

Appendicitis, Calculus, and Torsion are all served on a plate,

Cater to whatever the surgeon says

The common man was born to pay,

Let us take his money, he is easy prey

Doctors travel in Toyota, Audi and Ford,

Nobody to question, they fear no God

Superspecialists, why toil night and day?

Let's go to Paris, Hawaii and London on a holiday!

Why strain your eyes teleporting so much?

Panipuri sellers and barbers earn better as such

Patients pester doctors, "Prescribe more," they say,

Physicians list multiple multivitamins right away

Religion was the flourishing business yesterday,

Healthcare is the new trade, what do you say??
