Ewww. Using your glasses as a Q-Tip

Doctor, looking into my ear with one of those ear-looking things: "You use Q-tips."

Me: "Yes."

Doctor: "Don't use Q-tips. It's bad for your ears."

Me: "Well, what am I supposed to do about the ear wax?"

Doctor: "The ear takes care of it. It's like a conveyer belt. It pushes it out when it's ready to."

Me: "That's disgusting. Can I use hydrogen peroxide?"

Doctor: "No."

I found a new doctor.

 

I've heard from MANY doctors not to use Q-tips in your ear. Common phrase-- "Never put anything in your ear smaller than your elbow."

 

Hairpins.

 

So, KG, do you just let it drip out?

 

Eeww! Q-tip for the right ear, drops for the left ear. Sparing the gory details, my left ear canal is too narrow to adequately clean it with a Q-tip so I have to opt for the drops.

 

Very good, KG. For a minute there I was finding it difficult to picture a woman with earwax dripping down her face having a stalker.

 

Thanks for the visual. It made me think of that character from Wild Wild West with the thing in his ear. That's just gross.
