The patient who enters clinic referred
A certain status deserves.
With proof of ailment pre-confirmed, 
Frivolity none observes.

Referral, though, may not involve
Professional contact made.
The first practitioner, wise and quick,
Oft has no office staid.

Take heed the pain that rears its head
Despite no injury known;
It means, no doubt, you've been referred
From self-referral zone.

A pain left arm or of the teeth
May tell of heart attack,
And shoulder pain there on the right,
Gallbladder on the rack.

“Referred pain” is its name and badge,
A hint to not be lax.
Consult physician, be not shy,
Referred without a tax!
