A cotton bud emergency

As a lot of my recent posts have been about rather serious issues, here is a lighter story, from one of my favourite health-related blogs, Nee Naw.

The blog is written by a London Ambulance Service worker, who deals with incoming emergency calls at the Emergency Operations Centre (or Nee Naw Control, as she calls it).

The most recent post is about a young man who called an ambulance because he had a cottonbud stuck in his ear. You can't make this stuff up.
