Socialized medicine... it only takes them 33 years to figure out the source of an earache is a freakin’ foreign object in the ear.

Ahhhh, the good old British healthcare system that Barry wants to emulate. Good grief.

Ain’t socialized medicine grand?
33 years of excruciating pain and no doctor found the cause.

whats this nonsense about a doctor pulling the tooth out?...it was a nurse.... This is the UK with its NIH. He'd have had to wait for years for a surgeon, and then, the bureaucracy may well have denied the procedure.

Mr Hirst, from Sheffield, said the pain in his ear was so intense he would often bang his head on the wall to distract himself. Did it work?

“...who endured agonising earaches for 33 years.”
I wonder how much a nationalized healthcare system impacted this long discovery? One would think an x-ray would have given the source of pain fairly quickly.

How did the doctors miss what the nurse found? And why give a doctor credit in the article?

Maybe that is what is wrong with my brain.
Occasional alien hand syndrome.
Cluster migraines.

How on earth can hitting the back of your ear dislodge a tooth and have it enter your ear canel from your throat?

And wouldn’t it have ‘grown into’ the tissue by now?

I suffer from cluster headaches. This is common among cluster headache sufferers.
It does help, actually.
Although most don’t use walls since your head tends to go right through the plasterboard. A hardcover book is just as effective and doesn’t require patching and painting afterward.
