I think that there was
Failures on both sides-
The hospital and my family.
They should have disclosed
More information to me
Than they did while under
Their care. They should
Have informed me
What the scan involved
And what they were
Looking for and They
Did not inform me
That the results of the test.
That it showed no sign
Of a brain disease i.e. a tumour
Or a degenerative condition
Such as Parkinson's.
My parents should
Have been Over joyed,
Or a little relieved at least,
And told me this.
And told me that
The doctors had asked
If any serious illness
Associated with mental health
Ran in my family.
But I was Kept
In the dark for
The whole holding period.
I only got told
The end conclusion.
So I requested to see
My notes, in order
To illuminate what
Else I was missing.
It's my right to
Have a copy of them.
I shouldn't have needed
Any other reason.
