Patient complains of something funny happening in her ear.

This was a resource limited setting in rural India with the nearest ENT clinic more than 2 hours away. Patient attendants/relatives usually don't have money to go such long distances and state sponsored ambulances often take longer than 3 hours to arrive.

After multiple failed efforts at counseling the attendants to seek ENT services, ended using an infant feeding tube at the least pressure possible as a make shift instrument to suck out this notorious fellow from the patient's ear.
