Both ears are still full of shit, and I have lost a considerable amount of hearing capacity in my right and my left ears (estimated 80% my right ear & 20% My left ear). I really thought that a good syringing or cleaning would do the job, coupled with another course of "stronger" antibiotics.Yesterday, I went to the hospital to see "The Specialist" - The man didn't even bother to examine my ears, and if he did, well then he must have been really good, because I didn't see it or feel anything - He just said that there is no infection and he asked me whether I had any other problems, I said yes, where shall I begin, I'm old, fat, ugly, unfit, poor, I have a crappy job that I hate and I'm in debt to my eyeballs, every part in my body is either in pain, falling off, or has already fallen off, and now I'm here, so he looked at me and said that; I just need a hearing test.
The hearing test results were around 60%-70% hearing loss in my right ear & 20% loss in my left.. And the only thing the man could say was; you need a hearing aid - so do you want one or not?... I don't really mind wearing a hearing aid, but I feel that the underlying cause still persists, and both my nose and ears are full of shit every day, my right ear is in constant pain (with a permanent whistling sound), and hearing in my left ear is deteriorating further by the day...
On Monday, I will be going back to my doctor to demand a second opinion....
The best thing about the whole episode is this; when people meet foreigners, they assume that they do not understand the language, so they SHOUT and start talking with their hands. Now imagine what would happen if they meet a deaf foreigner... Well, imagine no more, because they SHOUT EVEN LOUDER and make even more bizarre and elaborate hand gestures - I know that people are only trying to help, but please - come-on, just give me a break, I'm not a 5 year old...
Today I visited my doctor and told him what I thought about the ENT "specialist", and how I thought that he was incompetent and that I had no confidence in his diagnosis, for the simple reason that my ear was still infected and is leaky, so the hearing test would carry no weight and is inconsequential...
ReplyDeleteAnd after a brief examination, he agreed with me and set about complaining to the "specialist".
What really pisses off is that, I had 3 people examining my ears, for hours, and making a mould of my inner ear and yet none of them even noticed the gunk coming out of my ears.
ReplyDeleteThe third person to see me, the one who took the impression (mould) of my inner ear was showing me the results on a PC screen, and this happen to show the word "disability", and the woman was trying her best to be as "Politically Correct" as possible and telling me that, I shouldn't look at it like that, and that it should say ABILITY and not the other way round....
ReplyDeleteBTW, My physical disability was at around 60%, but how it effected me was more like a 70% level...
I still haven't heard from my Doctor... I'm going see him and to complain again (on Monday), and demand some strong antibiotics, something like Augmentin 625, coupled with a good ear cleaning, and no BULLSHIT..
