a red ant crawling and biting...INSIDE MY EAR!
that's how i woke up this morning.
i was in tears because i can't get the ant off my ear and the pain was
excruciating. i poured some baby oil in my ear so that the ant will be killed but it didn't work...panicking, my parents rushed me to the nearest hospital (iloilo mission hospital) but surprise, surprise, they had to refer us to another hospital because they don't have the necessary equipment for EENT cases...WTF!
the whole time i can feel the ant moving and biting. this would be the first on my list of painful ways to die.
on the second hospital, the resident had to flush/irrigate my ear until the damn ant came off. now i'm temporarily and partially deaf on my left ear.
moral of the story:
don't rush to iloilo mission hospital for EENT cases. go to st. paul's hospital instead. and oh, put on some earplugs before you sleep so that insects won't crawl inside your ears. in case it happens, pull your pinna(upper ear segment) up and back for adults; for kids aged less than 8, pull pinna down and back, and then pour enough baby oil to kill the insect.
i really really HATE red ants right now.
