And it ordered a beer. While drinking its beverage, it looked around and asked, “what’s this guy doing with a bar in his ear?”

In my mid-40’s, I did my first job of using Debrox to remove ear wax. I was shocked how much wax came out, along with a cotton ball soaked with wax. My mother forgot to remove the cotton ball when I was a kid. My hearing improved by orders of magnitude after removing the was buildup.

How the elephant got in my pajamas I’ll never know!

See? This is why picking your nose on a regular basis is essential to your health.

[Osage Orange]

Heard of a patient once that had a rubber duckie in her private parts.

True story.

[Clay Moore]

Booger bugs?

We got an insect out of a patient’s ear one time with a flashlight.

As the Brits say, "Side on, please."

Not a terrible movie.

Well, if it looks like a duck....................

I was behind a guy in a bank line who had Dreads [white guy] and I saw bugs crawling on them, I turned around and left. ugh.

I had a fly go into my ear once when I was a kid. It sat in my ear canal thrashing about trying to escape. My grandparents eventually removed it by putting some Johnson’s Baby Oil in the ear canal so that it would slide out.

[desertsolitaire]

Understand. I’m claustrophobic with it extending to an irrational fear of such nasal lavage treatments, among other things. Perhaps will overcome someday.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Yeah, the whole thing is kinda maggoty, if you ask me.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Not necessarily.

It’s a very useful therapy if you have a bad cold or sinus issues. Salt is a natural antibacterial.

(The feeling is sort of like swimming and getting a noseful of water - but it’s happening on purpose :-)

[Jamestown1630]

Probably lice.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

They extracted a huge cockroach from his ear canal.

Could have been worse, if it had been an earwig.
