Mrs D's knee

Mrs D has a very sore knee.
It's been sore since the middle of August.
She says it started during white water rafting
on the Fraser River in British Columbia.

She's seen her GP umpteen times,
and eventually saw Mr P.
A consultant - he diagnosed
a torn lateral miniscus -
but the MRI didn't agree!

The consultant
described her
as
a
mystery...

Four weeks of physio followed -
different exercises every week.
But these just made her knee sorer
So back to see Mr P.

Now all of this was on BUPA
Because my company decided to pay...
Mr P decided to operate
But no spaces till mid December!

Now this is quite unsatisfactory
'Enough is enough' said Mr P.
So he found some space at Hexham
On the NHS - much quicker you see!?!

So tomorrow, Mrs D
will have an arthroscopy
to see
what Mr P can see.

Hopefully he'll find the problem
And fix it good and proper.
Then Mrs D will be back at work -
you just try and stop her!

Mr D, I salute you. It's an epic.

I feel it is inspired by one the greatest poets to come out of Dundee... a certain Mr William McGonagall!
