MY BODY'S NOT MY OWN

Everybody's got a body, just a mess of flesh and bone. But nobody owns their body, it's all on long-term loan. It's got lots of parts, two lungs, one heart, the major part that keeps it going. A kidney, bladder and a few other things that really matter. Some keep you thin, others let you grow fatter. Some fight disease, others do as they please.

When ever parts fail to perform to your satisfaction you and the doc must take fast action to put them back on track, give them what they lack in case you have a heart attack or stroke, If you smoke or booze too much or misuse too much what else is there you'd best take care or you may need a spare part here and there, blood to share, sometimes rare and hard to find just the kind to keep you going while you're growing.

All this stuff is not kept in place by glue and paste and masking tape and would escape if it wasn't held in by layers of skin. You can cut skin with a scalpel, stick it with a needle or a pin and it will heal, sealed by a scar which might itch while the blood congeals and leaves evidence of the surgical event. This operation should be money well spent unless the surgeon's incompetent. If the suture doesn't suit your satisfaction take action. The fact is, you can always sue the surgeon for malpractice.
