I need to vent!

Man i hate doctors! What if you went to those doctors in reverse order, the first one found nothing and the second one found the freckle instead?

My wife had a similar situation, had an ultrasound and found a hernia, went to a specialist and said they can't feel it from the outside so there's nothing there.
What the hell did the first guy find then and what the hell is the point of an ultrasound if it isn't as conclusive as the highly scientific feel test!

My right ear has been feeling 'odd' for a couple of months and after I recently had a cold, it begun to feel muffled. so I went to the Doctor...

Doctor: Do you have any allergies?
Me: No, none that I am aware of.
*Check ears*
Doctor: There is fluid in your ear. Here is a prescription for nasal allergy pills.
Me: WTF?

Tell me about it! I had to go to one last thursday after my optometrist found a freckle on the back of my eye.. The guy looked at me with one machine , couldn't find anything, looked through another machine (i got the impression it was new and he just wanted to play around with it) had absolutely no sign of the freckle (which was good) but the bill was 270 bucks for about 5 mins.

Similar for me two weeks ago. $292 to have a few scans and be told that there are no new developments or changes since my last visit last year.

Heh, the ears, nose and throat are interconnected. You did get the leak from a cold.

A few years back my mum had to get her ears flushed in some manner, from too much build up of wax. It turns out, using the cotton ear buds is not recommended, as over time it will push wax into your ear. Buggered if i know what else to do though!

Go to a GP and they will do it, or send you to a nurse to pump them out with a pump or syringe. Otherwise chemists sell wax softener that you drop into your ear and lie down as it dissolves.

Allergic to your nose?

Yeah, what Tober said. Best way to lose ear wax is to melt it out. Through a dr.!!

How can I stop receiving mail that I returned? I'm sick of writing undeliverable but post still sends it back to me.

I write "not at this address" haven't had one return yet.. (you do mean mail that is not for you right but for a previous tenant or something?)

Yes, previous residents. Some even years before. It says on the envelope if undeliverable, return to sender's address But post still returns to me. Thanks, I'll try that.
