So, the continuing saga of Mom and her ear wax…… We saw the Nurse this morning who told us that there was wax in both ears ……. Surprise Surprise …… That’s what the Audiologist told us yesterday ! Anyway she is booked in to have the wax removed on Tuesday 5th May. In the meantime she has got to apply drops ….not the ones the Audiologist told her to use, the ones the Nurse told her to use. ??? If she doesn’t use the ones the Nurse has told her to use they won’t remove the wax ! Sounds a bit mean ….especially as the Audiologist has already told her which to use ! This is a case of who do you listen to ! All fun and games !

Have I mentioned that you do things very strangely?

@Traceyjayne WHY are you expected to see a doctor and a nurse, in separate appointments, to tell you the same thing the doctor already told you? And why pay twice for the same advice? We got to an audiologist and they do the work right there. Yes, a doctor sees us but tells the nurse exactly what he/she wants done and they do it in the same appointment. No need for separate appointments or driving to the same place twice to get the thing done the doctor recommends get done.

@DaddyEvil the audiologist can’t remove the wax ……not his job apparently. The Doctors surgery can’t take the word of another professional duo the Nurse has to check if the wax is really there or if the audiologist was telling a little fib. But, it’s not that nurses job to remove the wax either ….. That’s why the third person gets involved ……yay ….they found someone who CAN remove wax…. All of this, obviously has to rake place on different days …..let’s spread the excitement out a bit shall we ! It is all crazy to me !

I love it when two people tell you different things, and both insist you must follow their instructions.

That does sound a bit confusing that she got two different drops from two different people. Guess she'll choose the drops from the nurse?

@Marilynda ….she has to buy the drops….so we bought them when we saw the Audiologist and now we have to return those and get the ones the Nurse says ….

@Traceyjayne hope it's an easy return and not a big inconvenience.

@Marilynda1225 I’m hoping so too. We haven’t opened it but I’m a bit worried they won’t take it back by saying it’s a medicine …..

At one point I had to have several trips to an audiologist before they could get my ears cleared of wax.
