Me, to patient: So, what's bringing you in to see us today?
Patient: My ear is really hurting. It's hurting all the way down into my neck. I got into a mess of seed ticks a few days ago, and I'm wondering if maybe one got into my ear.
Me: Gosh, that's an awful thought.
Patient: Weeeeell, it happens.
Me: (stunned silence, contemplating the logistics of digging an embedded seed tick out of a man's hairy ear canal.)
Patient: And whiiiile I'm in here, I need the Doc to look at my toe. The nail is ingrown and when I tried to cut it out myself, it got infected.
