A Medical Writer

What do you do for a living, they say?

Well, how should I sum this up today?

I am a medical writer.

Oh! What’s a medical writer?

I write scientific publications 

And medical communications

For the biopharmaceutical industry.

It sounds interesting...to some degree.

Thanks. It certainly can be!

But it also sounds very technical to me.

Yes, it’s a job where I constantly learn

While the digital pages metaphorically turn.

Writing, writing, writing.

Typing, typing, typing,

Sometimes, with competing deadlines, fighting.

A constant ebb and flow of projects.

When will the next challenging task come? She reflects.

What do you do for a living, they say?

Well, how should I sum this up today?
