Ear Ache

I could have sworn that the horrific pain in my ear meant that I needed some kind of bionic ear to replace my very human fleshy ears. At the very least, I presumed, they'd sedate me with large dosage of medication whilst they injected my woefully sore ear with some kind of high-tech, anti-viral, only-used-in-rare-circumstances, not-tested-on-animals, infused-with-gold-particles and free-on-the-NHS substance...

No.

Turns out I've just got a very mediocre ear infection that some very tediously mediocre spray will cure. Pah.

Now please excuse me whilst I wander around the house clutching my sore ear and occasionally moan in pain to try and elicit some sympathy from my family. I might just limp too.
