Recently, a KPMAS member showed gratitude for her physician in a truly unique way–through poetry. Touched by the poem, her primary care physician responded in kind.
Take a moment to read their heartwarming and poetic exchange below.
From the Patient:
Why I THRIVE
I have an assortment of Permanente physicians
whose primary mission
is to contrive
to keep me alive
in reasonably healthy condition,
taking me on a pretty long run
to the age of 91,
with a surprisingly happy disposition.
From the Primary Care Physician:
L. Boldt, MD
Internal Medicine Department, Falls Church
We are a team,
a group of doctors who seem,
to continually strive,
to help you to thrive.
You and I, for 15 plus years,
have conquered some fears,
and prevented some ills,
with only a few pills,
and rarely a suture.
Best wishes for the future!
