Gilda Radner was an amazing comedian who died of ovarian cancer in 1989 at age 43. During her illness, she wrote a poem that was published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
DOCTORS ARE WHIPPERSNAPPERS
Doctors are whippersnappers in ironed white coats
Who spy up your rectums and look down your throats
And press you and poke you with sterilized tools
And stab at solutions that pacify fools.
I used to revere them and do what they said
Till I learned what they learned on was already dead.
