Analysis of Doctor Fear
Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)
Despite when they are feeling bad
With sickness or with pain,
A few say they will not be glad
To see the Doc again.
Some people think the Doc will find
A mess somewhere inside
And though the Doctor will be kind,
The patient wants to hide.
They fail to understand the Doc
Will only find what's there.
So, though they may receive a shock,
They will receive good care.
