HOSPITAL BULITIN
Usual procedures were followed. I reviewed the action, found it to be an unnecessary amputation, and countermanded it. I didn't find out who cut the patient's arm off and why until yesterday, but that's neither here nor there and they still have one good arm remaining. I think that's all you need to know, and I fail to see how you could use additional information for anything other than causing a Big Stink about it. Big Stinks are usually counterproductive, not to mention the fact that they're downright unfriendly

What's important here
I wish to make clear
Is although I can't put back the arm
Is that it could have been worse
It could have come off a nurse
That would have been cause for alarm

For the important thing now
Is not the why or the how
Or how we prevent it again
But how to convey
That everything is OK
And the fault is in those who complain

They may have lost some bits
But don't it get on your tits
When they want to know too
If it was taken with intent
Or simply just went
When really I haven't a clue

However it ends
We should shake hands as friends
I'm sure it will work out fine
Although shaking that hand
May not go as planned
It may all go better – next time.
