An "Orthopaedics Plus" Christmas Carol
Old Scrooge sat hunched, his joints in despair,
His knee was aching, and had pain everywhere.
He muttered and groaned, “Bah, humbug!” in strife,
Unaware that relief could surely change his life.
That night, three spirits all came to call,
Not of Christmas alone, but Orthopaedics for all.
The first was the Ghost of Pain Long Past,
Who showed him yearly posture, more crooked than the last.
“You’ve ignored your back, your feet, and your knees,
And now your body does nothing but seize!”
Scrooge shivered, ashamed, then pleaded, “ENOUGH!”
The spirit vanished but first whispered “stop trying to act tough.”
Next came the Ghost of Christmas Today,
Who showed him a shop not so far away.
At Orthopaedics Plus, the lights were aglow,
Helping patients heal all the way, from head to toe.
“Custom orthotics,” the spirit proclaimed,
“For feet that ache, your comfort reclaimed!
Compression stockings, knee braces galore,
Cold therapy, boot walkers, and a whole lot more!”
Scrooge marveled at their kindness, the care, the trust,
As patients found comfort in Orthopaedics Plus.
He whispered, “Perhaps there’s hope yet for me,
If they can help others, maybe they could help with my knee.”
Then came the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Be,
Who showed a grim future, of what Scrooge might see.
Still limping and stiff, his world cold and gray,
If he never sought help, he'd surely waste away.
He woke with a gasp, his heart let out a yelp,
Off to Orthopaedics Plus he went for some help.
The staff fit his brace and taught him with care,
Soon, Scrooge would feel like he was walking on air!
Now he tells others, with joy and delight,
About the place that restored his steps overnight.
So to all the physicians whose trust means so much,
We thank you sincerely for staying in touch.
From Orthopaedics Plus, where compassion’s the call,
Merry Christmas to you, and good health to all!
