CHOSEN FEW

I have a sincere confession,

I’m proud to be among the chosen few,

To be a part of the noble profession,

From the chant of the evening wind to the drop of morning dew,

Catering for the needs of humanity,

Without judgment of their condition or infirmity,

Tolerating sometimes their ignorance and insanity,

Giving hope even in situations where it seems vanity,

Engaging careful thought and intuition,

Giving a clear n firm diagnosis without confusion,

Understanding the anatomical basis,

Indulging the biochemical relevance,

Contemplating the pathological basis,

Integrating the clinical significance,

Not forgetting the immunological essence,

But on a wider scope coupled with passion, compassion n a vision of better healthcare delivery

Expecting fair remuneration even though some systems are oblivious of our need for due salary

Regardless, we possess an adrenaline of zeal n dedication

And our service persists even in times of political n socioeconomic tribulation,

For we are the chosen few,

Coworkers with the Almighty God in His work,

Our duties are divinely preordained,

So every day we renew our vows to service of humanity, for better for worse,

Reminding ourselves that every pure effort is a plus,

So help us God that forever to this Calling we may submit,

Because as much as some may not admit,

One thing remains undeniably true,

We are the Chosen Few
