I received an emergency call from a patient: She had a fly in her ear. “Pour warm olive oil in your ear and lie down for a couple of minutes,” I suggested. “When you lift your head, the fly should emerge with the liquid.” The patient thought that sounded like a good idea. But she had one question: “Which ear should I put the oil in?”
我接到病人打來的緊急電話:有一只小蟲子飛進(jìn)她的耳朵里去了。我建議說:“灌一些溫的橄欖油到耳朵里,躺下一兩分鐘。當(dāng)抬起頭來的時候,小蟲子就會和油一起流出來了?!辈∪擞X得這個辦法聽起來不錯。但是她又問:“我該往哪一只耳朵里灌油呢?”
