I’m at the doctor for general stuff, and he’s doing the whole blood pressure, say ‘ah’, listen to my heart etc.

Then he gets to my ears.

Now I’ve had ear troubles before, mainly getting both burst when I got blindsided by a wave once. But they actually hadn’t been bothering me recently so I wasn’t expecting much.

So he sticks the otoscope into my ear, and suddenly gets really quiet.

And then

“...there’s something in your ear.”

And then he rushes from the room without another word.

I sit there, waiting for a few minutes. He returns, with several nurses and staff behind him, watching from the door with wide eyes.

I’m like, “So uh... what’s in my ear?” I’m thinking like, oh shit it’s a tick or something, and starting to panic.

“I think... it’s a spider.”

Oh, is that all? Instant relief! There are so many worse things.

“Oh. Well, get it out then.”

So they use a little water gun thingy to flush out my ear. The spider was long dead. Poor thing -_- Maybe crawled in there to die.

(...or was it crawling out from further in?? )

So now every time I see him, he asks to see if I’ve left my spiders at home, lol
