the survey

As she checked her phone
and looked at the door
the doctor assured
her patient
that she could fix her

A survey would be sent,
post haste,
to complete
before the next
appointment
to expedite the healing

This
was
very
...important

What medication
would you like to be on
in the meantime,
the doctor asked

And the patient
prescribed her own
pills
while waiting
for an email that
never came
