Horrible! The doctor told me about an unforgettable case. Patient’s nose smells like a “dead rat.” Looking inside is even more frightening. The nurse couldn’t hold back her vomit.
Dr. Wu Zhaoguan Director of the Zhaoguan Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic, based in Taiwan. Appearing as a guest on the medical show “Doctor Is So Hot,” he recounted a case that left a deep impression on him, even saying, “I have to say that this is the biggest case in over 20 years of being a doctor. I will probably never forget it.”
The doctor described the case of a 50-year-old man who owned a restaurant in Taichung. In the doctor’s registration form, he wrote the reason for wanting a nasal exam: “People around me said my nose was too sensitive. Want to know if I’m really special? Or they said the wrong thing.” As soon as he read this message, it immediately aroused his curiosity. Even though this patient registered for testing outside of business hours. which is not his work time anymore But he still decided to discuss it with his colleagues. to participate in the examination of this case as well
Dr. Wu said that “The patient is a tall man. The eyes are quite fierce. And he wore a double-layer mask. As soon as he entered the private examination room, he covered his nose and complained of the smell of a dead rat. and complained that the hygiene of our clinic was very poor. Outside the waiting area smelled like rotting fish and rotting garbage. And in this closed room, the smell was even stronger. It’s like the smell of a dead, rotting rat. I and another doctor and two nurses in the room were shocked. Because we also smelled a very bad smell. But it came from the fever of the man who just walked in.”
and as soon as the patient takes off the mask to prepare for a nasal examination The four medical staff in the room couldn’t help but hide their fear. The pregnant nurse rushed out and vomited. Because the smell that came out of his nose was terrible. But Mr. Lam himself didn’t know. Always thought his nose was too sensitive. He can smell scents that others have difficulty detecting. and felt a smell that was much stronger than usual He was very proud because he thought he had a special nose.
severe rhinitis It smells like a dead rat. Because of cleaning incorrectly
Dr. Wu continued that “When examining a patient’s nose with an endoscope We found that both nostrils were filled with pus and yellow mucus. Deep in the left nasal cavity was a large pile of black scabs mixed with pus and blood. due to severe inflammation The special thing was that his nose hair was too clean. When I asked in more detail about their hygiene habits, I was surprised again.”
It appears that the patient has a habit of regularly trimming his nose hair. By cutting it very close to the skin. A more important point is a small pair of scissors. The tool he uses to trim nose hair is also the tool used. “Cut the skin off your feet” He often wore sandals for many years. Due to the nature of his work, he developed calluses and foot fungus. Therefore, he often uses scissors to cut out calluses and areas of skin that are infected with fungus. And use the same scissors to trim nose hair without cleaning it well. But wipe with toilet paper only once.
This behavior causes fungus to enter the nasal cavity, causing “Fungus lump” Grows in the nose, causing sinusitis from fungi combined with bacteria. The skin is broken with scissors. and smelled like dead rats, but during the 6 months he was sick He didn’t know that the smell was coming from his body. Often think that restaurant employees are bad at cleaning and blame them. Until one employee wisely advised, Let him try to get his nose checked. Because his nose is too sensitive. So he agreed to come and inspect this time and found the cause of the rotting smell.
When you know the truth from a medical expert The patient felt very embarrassed. and felt guilty for wrongly blaming the employee After that it was very active in coordinating antibiotic treatment. Surgery to remove the fungus and rinse the sinuses properly As a result, symptoms improved after about 1 month.
