"List 3 ways how to remove ear wax in this lady other than using ear drops".
I read the question thoroughly again anda again. Sounds like unbelievable question. Because that was not the main complaint of the lady since she came with symptoms of ear infections. I expected other things might be asked..
This is one of the question in final year theory paper as a final year medical student.
I remained static for a while with an opened mouth staring at the question displayed on the slide.
And thinking, "What a question...so simple yet I don't know how to...".
I felt silly..it's not a tough question at all. I thought a more difficult question would be asked and here the most basic question came about common ear problem -ear wax. And I just smiling and laughing at myself silently..
It's okay. I tried to think of the answer...How do doctor remove the ear wax. Not a cotton bud please!! hehe..
Then instantly an idea came. I've experienced this actually -removal of earwax. Even tough I don't really have the exact knowledge about it theorethically at that moment. Flashback of memories came one by one, helping me to retrieve the answer.
