"Ear, Nose & Throat Doctor"! We Love them! Our kids...blah, blah, blah...
So I went to see the ENT Doc:
- He told me my ears are really close to my head. I told him my Mother used to scotch tape them to my head when I was an infant. I also told him that my cousin Tommy Shaeffer told me the same thing in 1962...
- The ENT Doc also told me I have Spider Veins on my nose...I told him it is part of my disguise.
- He looked in my throat & commented that I had no tonsils...I told him that none of my 5 siblings have tonsils. Tonsil removal (whether needed or not) was a thing parents did in the 1950's to get rid of at least one kid for a few nights while the kid spent two nights in the Hospital. Cost the parents a pint of ice cream.
So, I'm not really sure why I had to go see the ENT Doc, other than I still follow orders & the VA ordered me to go see the ENT Doc.
Makes me think today, how come I did not get to see the Orthopedic Surgeon when I broke my ankle on the curb on D Street while playing box ball when I was 11? I think I know...back then tonsils were covered under the Police & Fireman's Insurance Policy...broken bones were not...'just put ice on it'
