It is Noisy at the Cardiologist’s Office
(as discovered in the doctor’s notes)
I heard nothing.
But he heard plenty:
heart sounds.
But they were
normal heart sounds, S1 normal and S2 normal.
No murmur was heard. (I kept my mouth shut.)
No friction rub.
No gallop.
No S3 or S4 sounds.
No wheezing or rales.
Bowel sounds are normal.
I kept quiet but
it seems my body is rather noisy.

The body knows all! What in the world is a $4 sound?
Love the cardiologist lingo in this poem!
This feels almost like found poetry. I admire how you turned a cardiologist’s notes into art!
I’ve had some fun sharing poems like this with my doctor…!
