IS THERE A LAYMAN IN THE HOUSE?
TRIP to the public hospital Is quite an affair these days; They blind you with lots of science, They pepper you with X-rays There’s blood tests and allergy tests And nuclear tests and all, But your troubles really don’t begin Till the specialists start to call. The ophthalmologist looks in your eyes, Otologists peer in your ears, And haematologists suck your blood Till it practically disappears. And when you come off the assembly line, On the way out to your carYou wish you could call on the P.R.O.
| And find out how you are.
