Array ( [sid] => 185289 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Disabled Doctor [time] => 2018-07-18 00:00:27 [hometext] => A fictional poem. [bodytext] => It is illegal to refuse to hire disabled people in the state of Tennessee.
Even though I graduated from medical school, a hospital wouldn/'/t hire me.
They said they couldn/'/t hire me because I/'/d do a lot of harm.
They said I couldn/'/t be a doctor because I only have one arm.
I sued them and they were forced to hire me even though I/'/m disabled.
But when I performed an operation, the person died on the operating table.
I operated on a woman who had fifteen kids, she was going to have her tubes tied.
If I hadn/'/t been the doctor who performed the surgery, she wouldn/'/t have died.
Swift action was taken, I was fired immediately.
They had no other choice but to terminate me.
There were two important reasons why I shouldn/'/t have been part of the hospital/'/s workforce.
I only have one arm and the medical school that I graduated from was a correspondence course.

I got hired to be a great NBA player,
I wasn/'/t quick, and I didn/'/t know how to dribble, or shoot from anywhere on the court.
But in the State of Tennessee that didn/'/t matter much,
because after all the Governor there said,
The Grizzlies could use a young Lad like Stephen Curry,
but last time I checked he was already taken,
So will take you if you are willing to work for minimum wage, which is $7.25/ hour, but not as a guard,
no, you/'/ll instead be A sports Writer for WHBQ, or, I/'/m sorry, I mean a janitor, who cleans the toilets at WHBQ...

Peace!
