Doctor. No.

I've been visiting my favourite surgery again. Actually, I've started with sarcasm, which is how I mean to go on. I hate the doctors and yet I seem to spend most of my waking hours there. This time my ongoing ear "infection" has been diagnosed as a build up of hard wax... WHAT? How has it taken four years and four GPs to find this out.
Doc 4 tells me I have to heat up olive oil and put it in my ear. Ew. I thought that as it was a build up of hard wax (which does kind of make sense) I'd buy myself some Earex drops and have done. It all went well until today when one of my ears is all sore and achy and crap. Even my jaw hurts. Death is probably imminent. I'm writing this solely so that those who live on after me can be aware of the danger of visiting a doctor with a non threatening ear condition. Of course, I probably should have listened and gone with the olive oil, but I'm pretending that didn't happen.
