It would seem that stories of a long and carefree life with a bullet in the head, a knife in the leg or a needle in the buttocks will surprise no one. But, as it turned out, there is still something to be surprised at
The other day, a tooth was removed from the 47-year-old Briton's ear, which had been the cause of unbearable pain for over 30 years.
According to former miner Stephen Hirst, he first felt pain in his right ear at the age of 14. Since then, she did not let him go, the doctors examined the patient many times, but they could not find the cause. “Sometimes I just sat and banged my head against the wall, my ear hurt so badly,” the man says.
About 15 years ago, Hirst was forced to quit his job. In addition, he is partially deaf.
Recently, the Briton went to the ENT department of the Royal Hospital in Sheffield. The nurse flushed out his ear canal with vacuum aspiration, and then took a pair of tweezers and pulled out an object. “At first she didn’t say anything, she just stood dumbfounded, and then asked if my teeth had fallen out recently,” Hirst said.
The object really turned out to be a tooth … milk! Doctors believe that a tooth could have entered the ear in childhood, and the pain began to appear after a foreign object created conditions for the development of infection.
