Cancer Cardiology

As has been my custom for many years, I attend a community Medical CME, get inspired and write some rhymer silliness. Well, I need to keep my own CE's up, and I attended a half day Oncology Update conference just yesterday. Here's what happened; 3 minor moments in time.

Slap a tumor

Is what he said,

Spank a tumor

To make it dead.

Profiling mutations

Sequencing genes,

'Tis incredibly confusing

What it all means.

Precision Medicine

Who came up with that?

Sounds like "evidence based medicine"

Already in the hat,

Every ten years

We need new terminology,

Describing the same old ideas

It's a type of psychology,

Revered by intellectuals

Providing fodder for conversation,

While statistically the outcomes

Undergo inflation.

__ __ ___ _ __ _

He's a big word man

Multi-syllabilic,

The words roll off his tongue

Convolutedly idyllic,

Loves to hear himself talk

Hoarding the time,

Thank god I found a way

To make it all rhyme.
