Top job and thank you

[@thewaxwizard]

No problem, I'm sure you'll get a few new subscribers!

[@MissyR2538]

Hi Nurse Richard! I hope all is well. Please know that you never bore us. Not for a second. You have such a caring, personable and humorous personality that is refreshing, really. All the work you put into your content and channel is much appreciated. Thank you for being a bright spot on YT:)

[@thewaxwizard]

Wow, thank you

[@robertfleming9816]

Not boring! Love the British canals! Thanks for sharing! Poor patient! Hope he gets the help he needs.

[@Julia-um4rv]

🤣

[@Julia-um4rv]

Oops! I thought you were talking about English ear canals lol. My bad!

[@luvspin364]

Excellent video! Thank you! So enjoy listening to you talk about your country! Hope this fellow gets his ear fixed. God bless you!

[@ZAOAI]

I love long ones! You are not boring at all!!

[@pamelaabettis7225]

In the US we say “I wouldn’t touch that with a 10’ pole!” No mention of a barge. So this makes more sense!

[@thewaxwizard]

Now you know where the saying comes from!

[@justjulee9135]

Those dad jokes crack me up! Anyone who doesn't like them has no sense of humor 😅

[@khug3719]

You never bore us..✌🏻❤️

[@carolynrogers1510]

You are very patient, that was hard work

[@lauriepardoe7390]

Locks are a significant part of the St. Lawrence seaway between Canada and the US. In the 1950s, a channel had to be dug and the river widened to accommodate ocean going vessels. Many towns were moved back from the river to accomplish this. In places you can still see old roads going down into the river. Anyway, lock systems and canals are integral to the shipping industry to allow navigation from the Atlantic to the Great Lakes.

[@sharoncastro1849]

This was a tough ear to clear, I hope he gets that perforation cared for real soon. I’ll be sure to subscribe to his channel as I have been following 6 other Narrowboat vloggers. It’s a wonderful care free life from what I gather, but it also has its challenges. I once asked you if your business was near canals and you stated it runs through the center of town. I have been following the boaters for several years now and love their adventures. The UK countryside is absolutely beautiful and we get to see it from the canals. I’m just a weirdo in general I guess! You did a good job nurse Richard. Have a good day. 👍🤗

[@thewaxwizard]

Yep, lots of canals round here, the Leeds-Liverpool is the nearest

[@I_am_Junebug]

Richard - you are a true artiste! 👏

Boring is not a word that comes to mind with you Richard. Crackin video as always 👏👏

Never boring. Great peel! 👏❤️

[@alisonsanderson1770]

My step mum was a Mill girl in Manchester. She told me the workers had to " mee maw". A kind of lip reading because they couldn't hear above the noise. Thank goodness for Health and Safety nowadays! Great show again. Sending lots of hugs from a very autumnal Nova Scotia xoxox

[@judihume3400]

My Dad had a hole in his eardrum.He could make his ear whistle!!! We loved it as kids!

[@resQfurppl]

poor guy- that perf had to hurt 😢 i hope he gets it repaired soon. you did a great job with that difficult peel!

[@SueG84]

Aww poor man having that happen to him. Will have a look at his channel 😊

Thanks for the dad jokes again Richard 😂

You're welcome David 😊

[@pburke5274]

I really think that you are the best of all the British audiologists , etc. I hope that you won't be offended that i dont listen to your chatting. I'm usually worn out listening to people!!! 😂 Keep doing what youre doing and thank you!

[@thewaxwizard]

Not offended at all! Most people who don't like it just moan at me in the comments and seem to forget they have a volume button 🤣🤣🤣

[@carlawhite2576]

I really REALLY liked your stories about the canals, lochs, your grandmother...I much prefer it to judt ear talk. Please do some more of that!

[@WandaHowell-k1n]

You couldn't bore me if you tried. I love your accent! Very calming for a US southerner 😁

[@Emma-Jayne]

There was some really cool content there Nurse Richard. The knowledge of your area, the narrow boat community and how it all came about, plus that poor chaps ear too! Don’t apologise to anyone for what you do, I loved every bit of it ☺️ the dad jokes are always my fave bonus ❤😂

[@AnneMoshtael]

Went to your mate’s channel! Beautiful! Saw others who mentioned you also, Richard! Thanks for your video also! Hope the gentleman heals ♥️🤗🌟🍁

[@debbiebriscoe293]

Hello Richard I hope this finds you well. This was a really interesting & informative video. My eldest son had a perforated ear drum & like mores thing here in Australia 🇦🇺 to 8 years to finally have it fixed. They put a graft on it to cover the hole & that was 8 months ago & he’s still having problems with it. He has to travel 4 hours to see the specialist as we don’t have any in our area as we are classed as rural. This video showed me what a perforated eardrum looks like & I can understand why he was in so much pain. Thank you so much for sharing this video with us & I love the Dad Jokes. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@bcgrote]

Got a mule and her name was Sal, fifteen miles on the Erie Canal...

[@franstthomas3754]

I enjoyed this longer episode

[@josiefranck]

Went on a canal boat last time in Leeds. Interesting scenery and very peaceful.

[@kimmcquaid8189]

I would be livid! I hope he does something about the other lousy ear doctor. I hope ENT can help him.

[@lottapetersen232]

Love listening to you Richard.. Doesn’t it hurts when you have perforation on the eardrum?

[@thewaxwizard]

Painful when it happens

[@lottapetersen232]

[@eliselaughlin1886]

Fantastic video and Dad jokes. 😂😂😂

[@CarolAnnRunham]

My father's family once lived and worked on Barges on the river Thames they were classed as river gypsies there alot rivers in Cambridgeshire where you can see the narrow boats especially in the city centre there is several parks where there is a river running through and where people live on them too

[@kathyhurley1094]

Always learning from you I shouldn’t admit this but I never understood what locks in water were & very interesting video

That's what my ENT done to me during my sinus surgery

[@michellemoritz6387]

When you are done this is the cleanest ear I have ever seen. Nice job.

[@ednalucas7238]

Why not use the forceps ?

[@bethscott4330]

Are grommets the same thing as getting “tubes” in one’s ear? My son had chronic ear infections when he was young and needed tubes. Does he now most likely have a hole in his ear drum permanently? Scary.

[@thewaxwizard]

Yes, they're tunes, they almost always fall out and the drum heals up

[@KrazyKaren24]

70 WON. HA ❤ Thanks Richard

There is the 30 steps in Scotland i went there with my late husband Andrew

[@dawnwalus6587]

WOW THATS ALL I CAN SAY !

[@absolutelyamanda2942]

I had mine done 30 years ago, went to the docs with ear pain, had an infection so had antibiotics but doc said ear was full. To take my medication then use oil and go back to have them cleaned . It was SO painful! Scared me to have anything done with mine now.

[@williegillie5712]

Some of those jokes were pretty good. I like a good dry joke from time to time. They can be funny too if they catch you at the right time

[@yolandabillops5332]

Good job Richard ❤

[@darleneflattmann9991]

Loved it and those silly dad jokes. Please keep them coming!

[@quidam53]

Does a punctured ear able to heal ? Is it dangerous?

[@thewaxwizard]

They usually heal, this one didnt

[@pippaseaspirit4415]

There’s a real shortage of canals south of the M4!

[@mayflowergal6794]

Ok.. you just educated me. Both my kids had tubes as children now I can tell them to never have an irrigation and only see qualified people like you.

[@millarayalarcon-harnisch309]

Your commentary was very interesting. The Panamá Canal was also constructed using the lock method, but on a larger scale, as many merchants' vessels go through it.

[@bcgrote]

Is the Cut like the Haggis line? 😂

[@joyhruska9377]

Oh my goodness. Poor man. I did enjoy those peels tho!

[@catesmith3011]

Phenomenal peels they were, Joy! 😊

[@therealriquee]

Hi Nurse Richard, Have you ever considered having your tools engraved in case any of these frauds steal your videos?

[@thewaxwizard]

I've started using watermarks recently, I'll be honest, it makes little difference...its too easy to do

[@joemckenna5924]

Great video richard

[@thewaxwizard]

Thanks 👍

[@VHick]

Definitely, a great job. Just wondering why you didn't use olive oil to coat the canel and remove probably faster. Especially with dry outside skin.

[@thewaxwizard]

Because you shouldn't put oil in a perforated ear, it'll dribble into the middle ear

[@teresatidestrom921]

My grandma used to tell us kids that our saying “won’t touch it with a 10 ft pole” came from England. Now confirmed 😂 great peel and love the longer ones too!

[@jennifertaylor9775]

Not tedious at all, Richard! How could anyone see that perforation & think irrigation was a good idea?x🕊

[@thewaxwizard]

I think the irrigation caused it 🤔

[@jennifertaylor9775]

@@thewaxwizard Ah right, I’m with you, so even though the hole healed from the grommets, it made the drum fragile? x🕊

This sounds like a very interesting guy. I hope that the GP manages to help him with the perforation. Great job ❤

I thought you were playing with us like on the other video when you slid in from the sides. 😂 we have those horse drawn boats around me here in 🇺🇸 mostly a tourest thing

[@sherrisiegel5787]

Great video. Love the dad jokes they’re so corny🌽

[@Jess-gc9zg]

Aw poor thing. I remember Christmas day in the early 90's. I was about 7 and had perforated my ear drum. The poor pharmacist opened the pharmacy Xmas morning to get my medication. I remember the pain even now and being sick every time I moved. Won't forget that Xmas ever 😂

Can a canal boat go on the Falkirk Wheel? That would be wild.

[@foaddoaei3874]

I think you can use other tools to remove these waxes, only using suction on dry waxes stuck to the ear walls increases the time of the video and sometimes bores the viewer, please use other tools like pliers and tweezers. I feel that it is attractive especially against dried and sticky waxes that can be separated by pliers

[@thewaxwizard]

Pliers are for pulling nail and screws out, tweezers are for eyebrows! Sorry if it bores you....believe it or not, this is not made for your entertainment! It's a medical procedure which takes as long as it takes. Whenever you see a medical professional...make sure you ask them to do it as fast as possible! 🤣

[@rebeccachilders5549]

Checked out the channel...lovely lovely land and water scapes...it must be a beautiful place to live despite all the rain 😂...or so I hear...why does it rain so much there.?? Is it because of all the water......edit..was listening to you talk about sayings and where they came from...here in the beautiful foothills of NE Georgia we say wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole..no barge pole..but I guess the saying is universal in some form 😂
