My Experience At Federal Teaching Hospital, Gombe, Gombe State (Photo) by Odewaleadesoye(m): 3:40pm On Jul 21, 2022
Hello dearest Members of Nairaland Forum and awesome guests! I believe you had a great day.

In this post, I will share my experience at Federal Teaching Hospital (FTH), Gombe with you and I promise to make it short and simple.

I have slight pain in one of my ears due to accumulated wax and I never wanted to use cotton buds to remove the wax nor clean the ear due to what experts do say about it. This has resulted to the temporary blockage of the affected ear. cry cry

I went to complain to my office's doctor on Tuesday and he gave me some drugs but told me to come back after 2 days should in case the ear didn't open. I used the drugs accordingly and the pain was gone but the ear remains blocked temporarily.

Using my own wisdom, I went to the Federal Teaching Hospital (FTH), Gombe for the removal of ear wax and cleaning of the ear today (Thursday) but without the knowledge of my doctor. The nurses I met at FTH, Gombe said that I can't see the consultant until a doctor has referred me to the unit. This was around 12noon.

I rushed down to meet my doctor and I explained everything to him. He then referred me immediately to FTH. I left his office around 12:40pm.

Around 1: 15pm, I was at the ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) unit of Federal Teaching Hospital, Gombe to give them the letter so that they can attend to me. To my ultimate surprise they told me that they have closed for the day and that they are not coming tomorrow (Friday) that I should come back on Monday.

These nurses were on sit chatting but refused to attend to me.

I know that working in Government Hospitals can be tiring and challenging due to the number of patients they attend to per day.

I was very sad that I returned with blocked ear. cry cry

Sorry dear.
I don't even know what to say since it's up North.

Using of Cotton buds to clean the ear is not advisable at all.

And please don't be sad.

Please, if you can afford it, use a standard private hospital. I have lost hope on government hospitals years ago.

Clinic days are the days you find doctors on seat. You should ask what their clinic days are.

In my opinion, clinic days should be stopped. Instead, more doctors should be hired with good and encouraging compensation. Then a roster will be made. Doctors should be available on a daily basis.

Meanwhile, OP, you said you did not clean your ear for so long while the wax built up. When the wax was building in your ear and it was itching you, how did you cope?

Go to any pharmacy and buy hydrogen peroxide , put the liquid in your ear and leave in the position for about 5 minutes before letting the liquid out. You’ll be fine had similar experience.

Lastly make sure you’re OBIdient to my instructions

There is significant job to be done in terms of health care delivery and patient orientation.

It's sad that you have to see a consultant ENT surgeon for ear wax removal. Only a backward health system will entertain this. Nurses should be well able to do this at a general or private hospital.

Best thing to do for wax is to have Olive ear drop or bicarbonate drops to soften the wax for at least a week before attempting ear syringing. Syringing may fail if the wax is far too impacted. Sometimes the wax softeners alone is sufficient to dislodge the wax.

All the best on your journey

Internal bleeding is not "just". It's much more difficult to diagnose and treat than external bleeding which you can see.
