the art of referral

lets talk about the process of relieving peoples pain

the first thing they have to do is turn up

then you identify the problem

then you treat the patient.

sometimes its not so easy to work out

why they are in pain.

often there could be three or four causes

not so straightforward it seems.

and then there's actually doing the top notch job

people turn up late which cuts your time

to do the job properly.

they cough, fidget, gag and squirm.

now I know its not easy to be the patient

you don't like injections

its invasive 

and the mouth doesn't stretch that far

but from the other side

it ain't easy either

and occasionally, 

its impossible

and that's why god invented specialists.

I don't really believe in god

but I do the referral system

and when you can't do a great job

refer to someone who can.

you make less money

but you do get to 

sleep at night.
