For headache without complication,
A brain scan has no indication.
In such cases you’ll see
That a good H&P
Is more helpful than irradiation.

If potassium’s staying too low
And you feel like there’s nowhere to go,
Please remember that you
Need magnesium too,
For together their levels may grow.

When sleep apnea’s troubling your rest
CO2 fills your blood and your chest,
But with CPAP at night
You’ll stay up when it’s bright
And your mood will not be so depressed!

Many doctors remain unaware
Of the power of palliative care.
It’s not just for the dying,
But for anyone crying
In suffering, pain, or despair.
