We know glue ear as “otitis media” where fluid gets trapped in the middle ear. The “grommets” referred to are ventilation tubes to drain the fluid.

“We know glue ear as “otitis media” where fluid gets trapped in the middle ear. The “grommets” referred to are ventilation tubes to drain the fluid.”

Is that similar to what SOOOO many little kids get to prevent earaches? Regardless - it is crazy what socialism does. Just crazy.

I read a few years ago some proceedings over in England. They were discussing the poor health care in the smaller towns. One of the board members of the healthcare systems said something like “There is no reason why it should take 32 weeks to get an appointment for a hearing test in Hempster Village, when it only takes 6 weeks in London.”

Don’t quote me exactly, but it was WEEKS! (It might have been even longer in the village.)

Just for a lousy hearing test!
