As I grow older as a practicing physician
I move into the privileged position
Of having had a glimpse into lives of thousands of patients
Of having heard stories full of emotions intense
Of having had more encounters with mortality
Than I would have wished to see
Of having learnt from stories, skills that are hard to define
Of having developed a gut instinct, a sixth sense fine
That sometimes lets me piece together diagnoses subliminally
Without straining my higher faculties, I am working instinctually
*
To make sense of life, stories are what you need
I am fortunate to have amassed many stories indeed…
