This image is of my knee 5 days after arthroscopic surgery.
Arthroscopic Attention
Asclepius
please, I’m talking to thee
I
have a slight problem with a crook knee.
My
meniscus may need sort of mending
because
I’m getting pain when I’m bending.
Asclepius
came with a fibre-optic tube
and
from my knee his rod did protrude
while
the snake-eye inside peered at the view
sending
images back to the surgical crew.
The
video monitor blew-up the sad sight
clearly
portraying what wasn’t quite right
then
on the other side with a snip and a snap
a
surgical instrument removed all the crap.
So
if your meniscus is kind of sus
repair
is possible with minimum fuss!

Knee note ... This sonnet was written as a way of a thank you and to show it is a simple procedure that is not at all intrusive. It has been estimated that over four million
arthroscopies were performed last year.
