With a Touch of Amanda’s Flair

When you have a patient in need

don’t let that sweat start to bead.

Cause you about to gain the skill to succeed

in forming those clinical questions with speed.

Now, it’s time to break that question down,

but I better not see you frown.

You’ll be creating those terms with ease.

So, take a seat and just breathe.

Let’s not forget those search limiters.

Being sure to define those search parameters.

For the aim are sources of highest quality

as you become a searching prodigy.

Now, we know the objective

and it isn’t subjective.

So, let’s get to learnin’

while those wheels are a turnin’.
