What’s with having the “N” in ENT? Plenty of things
can go wrong with the ear and the throat, but does anybody ever go to the ENT
for their nose? Have I missed out on nose cleanings? Strep nose? Swimmer’s
nose? Are there smelling aids? To me, the nose seems like a pretty healthy
organ. “How you feeling, Phil?” “My nose
hurts again.” No. You just never hear that. When I was young kids would
occasionally shove things up their nose. Do they still do that? I don’t think
so. Kids have so much stuff to do now with video games and the internet. When I
was a kid, you’d get bored and shove something up your nose maybe to see if you
could get it to come out the other nostril. But today, the ENT’s don’t have to
deal with that, I don’t think.
And yet, the “N” stays in their name. I blame Spielberg.
Nobody wants to be associated with that weird E.T. dude.
