I have had something going on inside my left ear, it feels like pressure that won't release for about two weeks now. I thought it would resolve over time, but me being paranoid and trying not to think I have an acoustic neuroma, I go straight to a board certified ENT. Strange things keep me up at night. It’s amazing what an education will do for your nightmares in a strange hotel room all alone.

So a quick thumbing through the yellow pages and I get this gorgeous female doctor with fantastic shoes and tight pants who puts things in my ears and then whips out the speculum and scopes my throat. She smiled afterwards and said how odd it was that I don't have much of a gag reflex. "I practice in the bedroom," I tell her. She giggles and says how wonderful. She has no idea I think to myself. Hmm...At $250 per visit, maybe I should schedule a follow-up visit when I come back to Minneapolis? She can scope me anytime.
