A HORROR SHOW EAR! 354

[@drjent3350]

This is severe atelectasis with a large attic retraction pocket. This stems from long term untreated eustachian tube dysfunction which generates a lot of negative middle ear pressure and sucks in the TM to the point where it drapes over the middle ear structures. Great look at a bad ear pathology Nurse Richard!

[@thewaxwizard]

Thanks! Hopefully the cause of it is found pretty quickly and it's nothing too serious 🤞

[@pennycandyys]

Atelectasis normally relates to the lung, is it also used to describe ear dysfunction or pathology?

[@drjent3350]

@@pennycandyys That is correct! We usually see atelectasis of the lungs post-operatively or in cases of pain causing decreased breathing effort like rib fractures. Atelectasis also can be used to describe an under ventilated middle ear space and when it is severe it looks like the ear drum has been shrink wrapped over the middle ear structures like the hearing bones.

So glad we didn’t have to wait to understand what is wrong!

[@tracycudmore4705]

I really hope he comes back and fills you in on what's happening. He can't just leave us hanging. I hope it turns out to be treatable, whatever the issue is.

[@thewaxwizard]

I hope so too!

[@debravanhyfte6983]

Looks incredibly painful. You helped this patient tremendously. Good work as always!!

[@paulinehawkins2207]

I enjoyed this video and I love the back story of the patient. Take care. Xx

[@SarahLovesU2]

Poor guy!!! Thankfully he came in at the right time. Hope you get news on what ENT determined. That certainly was horrific

[@deljones64]

I look forward to seeing the rest of this cleanup ,and the other ear. I know this person feels better.

[@Emma-Jayne]

That must have been so relieving for them, thank goodness for you Nurse Richard ❤

[@debbiebriscoe293]

Hello Richard, I have to say it’s pure luck that he came in your office when he did. That ear looked horrendous & even the one you did work on wasn’t good either. You have done a fantastic job with the help you gave him. Regarding your new office renovations why don’t you do a video of each day/time you work on it even photos in a video form & make it just a Reno video start to finish reveal, keep everyone waiting. I know I will be watching. Anyway love your work & thank you for sharing ❤❤❤🇦🇺

[@thewaxwizard]

I've been keeping a video diary and will post it when I've finished

[@debbiebriscoe293]

I caught my breath when you showed that ear drum 😮

[@melissasneed5814]

So much skill and steady hand to do what you do and you do so well. Sitting back just watching can take for granted exactly what it takes to do this. Small space, camera,light , tools and then to be so careful not to bust through etc. just wanted to acknowledge your skills. Blessing from US.

Thanks Melissa 👌

[@AngieSea-qf3tz]

Good job nurse Richard 🙂

[@poppiengema2598]

OMG, it was a good decision to come unannounced. I guess he could feel something is wrong with his ears. Thanks for taking care of them. Hope the GP helps him

[@KrazyKaren24]

I don’t usually watch horror movies, but I’ll go ahead and watch this one. Love you, Richard. Perhaps you should entitle each episode leading up to Halloween with a spooky name

Hello Nurse Richard. Excellent work!

[@thewaxwizard]

Me too!

[@veerlepeeters4559]

Hello Richard, that ear looked like he vacuumed his own ear in a vacuum machine! This can indeed be called horror, hopefully he can be helped quickly and inform you of the results, Sir with your vacuum ear if you read this DO NOT USE COTTEN BUDS ANYMORE!!!! Great video Richard let it be a good lesson for other cotton swab users! See you soon sir, 🇧🇪😘

Nurse Richard you are such a wonderful man. This gents ear looked so weird. I hope he is getting things looked at and taken care of. Fantastic job!!!!!😊

[@きりた-しゅう]

I'm a patient with otitis media. I’ve seen a photo of my eardrum indented on the side of the ossicles. Compared to that, the patient in the video is truly a horror show😱😱😱 05:10 And thick earwax, too.

[@armondamason181]

Love the family video. He is your twin and she's definitely her mother's daughter. The horror video was awesome as always. Ms. United States Armonda Mason. Spent over 14 hours watching your removals. It never gets boring.

[@penelopewaters4496]

Well done for what you removed from that ear, and I hope that general he gets sort out very quickly. You are is garden angle that day Richard.

[@KENGARTLB]

Hello, Richard! I hope you're well. That second ear was a doozie! I wouldn't have known that was an eardrum without your saying so. Hope that person is OK. That's it for now. May your time be joyful and your peace complete.

That retracted ear drum!😬😬😬 What type of symptoms would he be experiencing with that eardrum? Pain? Feelings of tightness in his ear? Etc.. Too bad you didn’t have more time because a full eardrum skin peel would have been soo satisfying!😂 Coming from one perfectionist to another!

[@thewaxwizard]

Yeah, I was frustrated too! His only symptom was loss of hearing

What is the difference between the Cawthorn (I think that's what you said) hook and the St. Bart's hook? They looked almost identical to me except that I think the Bart's hook had a sharper, more 90-degree angle to the end. Is that the only difference? This stuff is fascinating. Thank you!

Cawthorne is metal and much smaller. St Barts is carbon fibre and bigger

[@pennycandyys]

That left ear almost looks like you could have sold the contents to make birds nest soup. 🤢 And that right ear is basically unspeakable. And you say he just walked in off the street, he hadn’t even made an appointment to get that horror show looked at? The guy’s like a farmer-they never come in unless they’re at death’s door. I wonder what he considers serious enough to come in for then? We had a patient once, I think he was maybe bragging a bit that he’d never been in to see the doctor. I was like….’well yeah…but now you’ve got cancer everywhere. If you had come in though, maybe it could have been treated. 😬 **Men-go to see your doctor at least once a year.** At least so they know what your normal is, so they know when something is abnormal.
