Healthcare--Doctah Please

Post by Lightning Rod » March 11th, 2008, 11:42 pm

I attribute my good health to the fact
that I stay away from doctors.

my bad habits sustain me
much better than insurance

two types of people
those that die from lack of healthcare
and those who die because of it

Doctah! Doctah!
Physician heal thyself
send your kid to college
with the bottle on the shelf

Doctah! Doctah! Doctah!
Doctah! Doctah! Please!
sell me the slick new remedy
put a name on my disease.

When I was a dope dealer,
I knew that there was poetry in medicine
that's why my next career will be
inventing new names for drugs

How about Hardonis for the next generation's erections?
It has a Greek God flavor.
And Dumbalice for a pink housewives' lala pill?

What's an out-of-work poet to do?
better than working for Hallmark.
Doctah, Doctah, Doctah
Doctah, Doctah, Please.

Did you know that the words "heal" "whole" and "holy" are all related? They don't just happen to sound alike; they sound alike because they're related. That's the way English used to work.

The word "heal" means "to make whole." "Whole" implies what we now refer to as "union." How many doctors do you think are aware of that?

A witch doctor, on the other hand, heals himself (makes himself whole) first, then heals the patient. He is also immune to every disease he knows how to cure. Now doesn't that just make sense?

To a doctor, medicine is a complex chain of chemicals suspended in water or a pill. To a witch doctor, medicine simply means "power."

mars! great to see you!

the code wasn't working in your posts because you are clicking "disable bb code" when you post. You have to unclick that to make the code work.

....

I fixed it for you. It was in your profile settings. You had "always disable bb code" checked. I unchecked it for you. Your code will work now.
