    I don’t understand how an emergency clinic would turn him away. Did they not believe he was in pain? I’m so happy you helped him.

      The gold standard for emergency and urgent care is irrigation to remove impacted ear wax. In this case, there's no room for the water to penetrate to the back and force it forward and it would be very painful on top of that. If it wasn't all extracted, then it could then cause an infection which is why they referred him out to an ENT.

      The emergency clinic probably just saw a run out of the mill wax plug. ENTs and audiologists might know better, but they're dealing with a backlog since for a year all these appoints were put off.

      I had this issue as an adult and i got turned away. They give you a prescription to these dumb drops that are expensive but don't work. I had to force them to get that mess out. I literally refused to leave and then they did the procedure. I knew I needed it because I had the wax issue as a child. I had to cause a seen to get it done. That's just the way they are..

      We don’t do much in the ER because it’s an outpatient procedure. If we can irrigate it out, fine. Otherwise it’s not an emergency. Car wrecks, heart attacks, strokes and sepsis are emergency room patients. Impacted ear wax is outpatient if it can’t be quickly removed

      This sort of specialist procedure is simply not achievable in an Emergency Department.
      Don't forget that EDs are for medical emergencies, life threatening conditions.
      Their skillset and the equipment and infrastructure is geared towards emergency medicine: trauma, cardiac incidents, respiratory failure, stuff like that.
      This level of specialism won't be found in an ED.
      Not just that but like I said Emergency Departments deal with Medical Emergencies, I understand that this is painful but it's not life threatening and it can be dealt with as an outpatient so it's not an emergency, and in this case the patient would be referred to a specialist or advised to contact a certain clinic. Expecting an overworked ED to also have capacity for intricate specialist skills that are beyond the scope of practice of most doctors is unrealistic.
      Irrigation and drops are usually the extent of what is achievable in an Emergency Department and even then you'd be waiting a while because the traumas, strokes, MIs, resus patients, and other high priority casualties needing emergency medicine would be triaged ahead of you.
      This is something that is most appropriately managed by having an appointment with your GP or going to an Urgent Care Centre and getting referred on to a consultant, and from there it will be managed as required

I'd like to think I had empathy and not a cold hearted person. We are all different, but I would also like to think every human has empathy of some kind. I feel/think a huge difference when comparing today's world to my childhood is I can remember my parents talking to the neighbours over the garden hedge, these days it is all brick walls and 6 feet fences. Sad but true.

    • @alex_zetsu

      It's possible A&E in UK doesn't know any technique other than irrigation, which in this case would actually make it worse since the water would just get trapped behind the plug. I know in California, most hospitals know nothing other than using water to try to get rid of earwax. 7/8 times it works, which sounds like a low success rate, but remember they only see plugs that actually hurt people enough to go to the hospital, so these are more likely to need manual tools. I'd actually suggest not using water unless you have someone who is trained to use manual tools. If it doesn't get rid of the wax, at least you can get rid of it without letting it sit in the ear for an hour and swell the plug.

    Bless the little one's heart for sitting bravely while all that content was removed from his little ear. I think it also speaks highly of your bedside manner as well. When my daughter was 5 years old an ENT removed a very large ball of wax from her ear with nothing but a long pair of tweezers. It really was a very frightening experience for her more so caused by the doctors energy than the procedure itself.

      Unfortunately the Emergency Room is for treating emergencies. Life threatening conditions.
      Not only is that not the right place to treat him but the equipment and infrastructure they are scaled for and staff skillset means that this specialist procedure is simply not achievable.
      It is not inhumanity, it is practicality

    Thank you as always, Conor. When I was training we used to have what almost became a mantra - "Pressure Equals Pain" &, while that was mainly in the context of the skin, of course it's true of other areas too. I'm so glad that you were able to help this child &, as you said, that's a lot of wax for such a small area. 👍🏻🕊

    I was 11 or 12 when I started started getting an earache that turned into very acute pain within an hour. My mom took me to our GP, who used a water-flush style stringe remove a large wax plug. I don't imagine i could have eaten, slept, or gotten anything done with that level of pain. I'm surprised the hospital didn't remove the wax or at least give pain medicine. So glad you put in the extra work hours to help that kid!

    I've wondered if kids ever come to your type of clinic. I would imagine there would some very interesting finds buried in some of their ears! Bless you for helping the poor kiddo. Not sure how it works there but in the US a lot urgent care clinics are usually just a basic doctors office that will do a quick diagnosis and prescribe medications. It's good that one knew what kind of treatment to recommend and I'll bet word spreads about your kindness in seeing the child. You may have to expand your services! Lol

    Watching videos like this is such a pleasure for me because I have a complicated, zigzag-shaped ear canal, so my ear can't clean itself. On top of that, I have psoriasis, which primarily manifests as ear flaking. Every year, I need to see a doctor to have my ear flushed with warm water using a syringe under pressure because I lose hearing annually. Seeing the relief in these videos brings me immense joy.

You're a very kind and brilliant young man. I just want to ask why did all that wax build up in the child's ear in the first place? Is he more prone to it for some reason?

      This sort of specialist procedure is simply not achievable in an Emergency Department.
      Don't forget that EDs are for medical emergencies, life threatening conditions.
      Their skillset and the equipment and infrastructure is geared towards emergency medicine: trauma, cardiac incidents, respiratory failure, stuff like that.
      This level of specialism won't be found in an ED.
      Not just that but like I said Emergency Departments deal with Medical Emergencies, I understand that this is painful but it's not life threatening and it can be dealt with as an outpatient so it's not an emergency
