Super-Doc likes Marmalade

The doctors in Denmark are amazing. Or to say mine at least.

When I was first summoned for a check-up, I was expecting that I will be referred to a specialist as what the letter says, at least that’s how Google translated it.  At first, it was some general questions which is obviously a routine for my record. And then she says ‘Ready?’.  I was a bit shock for some seconds and before I could think rationally again, I was already on the table and had some girl-on-girl action.  Spare my doctor with that thought! That is why she is amazing as she is a GP turned into Ob-gyne – that our doctors cannot do in my country.

Last week, I went totally deaf in the right ear. I remember that I sprayed accidentally some water a few weeks back. And maybe it got worse the day before as I swam a newly-opened beach full of seaweeds. Guess where. And so maybe the water stuck in there, got mixed with the wax and turned into some water-wax gel. Or maybe some little pieces of seaweeds got mix with the water-wax gel. Or maybe a fly or a mosquito committed suicide inside my ear and stuck into the water-wax gel. Or maybe a bee mistaken my ear to be a honeycomb and realized its a water-wax gel.  But you know what I mean. Yeah.. its gross. Like that peach or orange marmalade you have on the bread right now.

halloj!!

And so I went to Super-Doc knowing that she will turned into EENT-doc in  a snap. She examined my ear to confirm that one of my theories is right – its a  WATER-WAX gel! And then she wrote some prescription and advised me to go back 3 days after?  3 DAYS!!

3 more days of flunking the audio-exercises at school.

3 more days of not watching TV.

3 more days of  asking the husband to repeat what he’s saying.. or to the cashier in the groceries… or to my friends.

3 more days of not hearing my phone rings for message or calls.

3 more days of lying on one side .. hoping it will come out by gravity.

And so I went to the pharmacy to buy the medicine or I would say a kit.  It says that I could just remove it in 20-50 minutes. I dunno what I should feel why Super-doc told me that it should stay overnight. And I dunno what to believe – the instructions of the medicine or Super-doc?   And so  I met Super-doc halfway.

I told the husband to follow MY instruction instead. Why not use half-of everything now, so I can hear some  and use the rest later so there is something for Super-Doc to clean.  At least she’s worth it on my appointment, coz she’s paid for it anyways.

Lesson of the story – there is no half-way in life.  The few drops of medicine is now stuck together with water-wax gel. And doctors are not always good empathizers.

And so here I am sitting in a chair. Don’t try to talk to me -  coz I will ‘en gang til’ you if I am interested, if not  I will just nod my head in agreement coz I am such a big faker.
