Gods of Small Things is a satirical poem that exposes the absurdities and excesses of bureaucracy in academic medicine. With wit and lyrical flair, it chronicles the struggles of clinicians, researchers, and educators as they navigate the labyrinth of approvals, trainings, titles, and mandates imposed by legions of faceless administrators. From the Vice Queen of Wellness to the Associate Count of Uniform Threads, the poem introduces a slate of petty deities who rule over form, not function. At once humorous and biting, this poetic work invites readers to reflect on how reverence for the trivial can obscure the essential.
