    Welp, just had a myringotomy!…read more "What's a myringotomy", you ask. A myringotomy is a procedure to create a hole in the ear drum to allow fluid that is trapped in the middle ear to drain out. The fluid may be blood, pus and/or water. In my case, he suctioned out a mucus plug. Back in January 2024, I got a sore throat that progressed to a cold and ear infection. I ended up at Urgent Care with antibiotics to treat the infection and ease the pain/pressure. Pain went away, but that feeling of ear fullness/fluid and reduced hearing didn't. My follow-up with my PCP revealed that I may have eustachian tube dysfunction. We tried saline flushes, but also referred me to a specialist. Thus, an appt with Dr. Travis Schutt at the UofL Health Medical Center East. I see why he has such a long waitlist. He's been practicing for 3 years and has incredible bedside + knowledge. He took a peek in my ear and noted that I had amber-colored fluid behind my right ear canal. He discussed three options with me and since I'm a swimmer, we decided on the myringotomy as a best first option. (Versus waiting it out to see if it would drain naturally or myringotomy plus tube insertion.) After explaining the procedure, he put some numbing phenol drops on my eardrum; waited about a minute, made a slit, then suctioned out my inner ear. I could feel when he suctioned the mucous plug. Science/medicine is so cool. Everything, ear, nose, throat is connected. So I asked him if my eustachian tube dysfunction could possibly be the reason I don't smell well. He said yes, it's possible. He's changing up my allergy meds, and starting me on a nose spray. [Fluticasone (Flonase) can reduce inflammation and swelling in the nasal passages.] He took a peek inside my nose, and noted that I have a slight right septum deviation with turbinate hypertrophy. Basically, my allergies cause parts of my nose to swell up and those parts block the olfactories. I've got a follow-up appointment in four weeks. He's going to make sure our interventions are effective, and stick a camera down my nose to get a better look at those sinuses. Again, medicine is amazing. Shout out to Dr. Schutt and his Medical Assistant, Linda. Top-notch care and bedside manner from UofL Health. If you need an ENT, I highly recommend.

    These people that work here do not know what they're doing. I had some labs done and something…read morecame up and they just sent me pills without knowing what I really had going on later on I went to my doctor and asked him if I should take those pills he had told me "no I don't know why they sent you those pills without knowing what you have. those can do some serious damage to your liver" I was upset be careful what these people send they just send just to send you pills so they can just discharge you. Whole time it was an uti I'm not sure why they took an uirne test just to say there wasn't no infection embarrassing do better.
