One more comment...mostly brought on by the idea of an earwax spoon

I got one of the first bills for my ear sojourn today. Apparently the vacuum cleaner that the ENT doc has is worth a whole lotta money. For less than 30 seconds of suction and holding my head still they charged the insurance company a whole lot more money than I could even imagine. Of which I thank God for insurance because I only have to fork over $35.00 so far. (Of course, this was just the first visit...)


And now onto earwax spoons...apparently wikipedia does not have an entry for this particular item however I did find a photo

And they are worried about people sticking a Q-tip in their ear?
