I think I had made share of doctors visits during this trip, so Ted finally stepped up and went to the doctor today. Reason: Ear pain.

Doctor #1, general family doctor: examine, questions, examine again, diagnosis: it is not an ear infection, it’s clogged and need to be flushed out

HNO clinic, doctor #2: examine, questions, flushing, vacuuming, flushing, examine: all is good, big plug removed! My hope of Ted’s hearing improvement is getting very high!

Throughout the whole procedure, Ted was very brave, he didn’t cry or act up, but he refused to take the lollipop that was offered at the end. He’d rather get the bounceball, but his little procedure didn’t qualify for such a big prize 🤪

The really big surprise at the end: the invoices. Doctor #1 charged Euro 10,72. Doctor #2 charged Euro 50,83. It is a miracle and would never ever happen in the US that you’re surviving a medical treatment with such low costs. 😆
