DIY Healthcare

Under ObamaCare, many of us may have to take our healthcare into our own hands.  Jay Chinn of England tried just that when he tried to remove a moth that flew into his ear with his home vacuum cleaner.  When the bug flew into his ear near his eardrum, he tried everything to get it out--blowing his nose, using a toothpick, and finally resorted to the vacuum cleaner.  Nothing worked.  He finally had to go to the ER.  They were able to remove it with a medical vacuum.  Fortunately, Mr. Chinn's hearing is just fine, and he only sustained a scratch on his eardrum from the toothpick.

Kinda reminds me of the time in first grade when a friend of mine got a bead stuck in her ear while fooling around doing something she shouldn't have been doing.  I wonder if Brandi ever got that out?
