I have been flying under the radar

For a long time

I want to be visible

On screen

Maybe

I want to teach

Residents

Medical students

I want them to love rural medicine

As I love it

I am a pterodactyl

Wanting to rise

Among the AI satellites

And say

Use the telephone to reach other doctors

Listen to your patient

Listen to what they don’t say

Listen to the pieces that don’t fit

Let the patient teach you

Why are they really here?

It’s not always a pill

Sometimes it is just

So that someone will listen

To the feelings

That our culture

Denigrates

Ignores

Vilifies

Hates

Listen

You might turn in to a pterodactyl too

Or a cross

Between a modern AI manipulator

And a pterodactyl

It is good to have more tools

Than a hammer

Let me show you mine

And you

Show me yours

Argh, the formating is wrong. And WordPress has updated enough that I don’t know how to single space the parts I want single spaced! Feedback welcome!
