And one day they captured me:
"Because the doctors are at a total loss,"
they tied me and dragged me
by force - to a specialist.

---

I had no confidence at the outset:
They look so regal, so cheerless,
They look half like high priests,
half like executioners.

How fine and lovely your personal doctor is!
He always prescribes white bread and fish.
But if you prefer a giblet,
He'll eventually prescribe that as well.

On the other hand, the specialist,
He is a born sadist!
He prescribes you uncomfortable things,
and bans everything you find palatable!
He prescribes a santarium cure,
that takes only two or three months,
But it's at his private clinic,
So the whole affair takes a half year.
