This is an excellent poem by David Bradshaw -

Doctor Bogle’s Clinic

In Doctor Bogle’s clinic,

Everything is great.

There’s something in the water,

So the atmosphere’s sedate.

And clothing is provided,

So your jacket’s always straight.

Oh! It’s wonderful at Doctor Bogle’s clinic.

In Doctor Bogle’s clinic,

Everyone is calm,

The floor and walls are padded,

So you’ll never come to harm.

And when the Doctor sees you,

It’s a real shot in the arm.

Oh! It’s wonderful at Doctor Bogle’s clinic.

In Doctor Bogle’s clinic,

The pharmacy is stocked.

And for your own security,

The doors are always locked.

And anyone who disagrees,

Is regularly shocked.

Oh! It’s wonderful at Doctor Bogle’s clinic.

In Doctor Bogle’s clinic,

The nurses spread good cheer.

I love the place so very much,

I go there every year.

For once you’ve been lobotomised,

There’s nothing left to fear.

Oh! It’s wonderful at Doctor Bogle’s clinic.

50 years before women were allowed to enroll into medical school, Margaret Ann Bulkley dressed as a man for 56 years to study medicine and become her alter-ego, Dr James Barry. It was only when she died in 1865 that her secret was exposed after 46 years working as an army medical officer.

During WW2, an Italian doctor prevented Nazis from taking Jewish patients by claiming they suffered the fictitious ‘K Syndrome’. He saved 45 lives.

In 1984, a 1-year-old received a heart transplant from a baboon but ended up dying 21 days later due to rejection. When questioned with why a baboon and not a primate more closely related to humans, the surgeon said he didn’t believe in evolution.

In 2003 an ER doctor in Idaho saved a patient’s life by performing emergency surgery with a cordless drill in a church parking lot to relieve pressure on his brain caused by internal bleeding.

A female doctor from Brazil, after being fed up from burglars jumping over her fence and steal her belongings, tapped dozen of HIV-infected syringes atop her metal fence with a warning board saying, ”Wall with HIV positive blood. No trespassing.”

Doctors didn’t wear white coats till the late 1800s. Due to swift advancement in medicine, the public thought discoveries of new antiseptics & the spreading of disease were just mysticism & deceit. In response, doctors adopted the white lab coats to represent a fresh start for the medical field.

Despite the loss of her legs, Li Juhong has been a doctor in her Chinese village since 2001. She uses wooden stools to travel around, has treated over 6,000 people and has a stay-at-home husband who carries her on his back so she can reach patients who live in isolated areas.

In 1981, a pediatrician saved the life of a 3.2-pound premature baby boy by working around the clock to beat the odds & stabilize him. In 2011, the pediatrician was pinned inside a burning vehicle after a car collision, but was saved by the premature baby, who had grown up to become a paramedic.

The largest collection of Doctor Who memorabilia consists of 6,641 items and was achieved by Lily Connors (UK), of Pontypridd, UK, as verified on 20 June 2016.

Lily's dream is to be an extra in an episode of Doctor Who and to own a full-sized Dalek.
