that time in 2003 I went to the emergency at toronto western hospital for an ear infection.
towards the end of the regular examination the receptionist came and motioned to the doctor who got up went over to her so she could tell her something that seemed to be about me.
the doctor said there was one more thing to check for and from a small packet took out something and asked me to turn my head, she then put what seemed to be something like a cotton swab with bristles on it and rubbed it on the inner surface of the canal. she then did the other ear.
I left with my prescription for ten days of antibiotic and a note so I could get a regular physician.
how this could be used in a fiction.
a person goes to the emergency of toronto western to have his ear checked for the pain it's causing him.
during the check the receptionist comes in to the back and motions to the doctor that she has something to tell her. she shows the doctor a paper and they both turn heads slightly to look at him.
the doctor says there is one thing more she has to check and gets out a small packet which she opens and before he can see what is in it she asks him to turn his head and she rubs the inside of his right ear with what feels to be a q tip with bristles on it. when she finished with that ear she uses a second of the brushes and does the other ear, again being careful to screen the object behind her free hand so he can't see what the it is. when that's over she gives him a prescription for antibiotic and an introductory letter so he can get a regular physician.
not long after that he wakes one night to what sounds like a lion wheezing in the hallway outside his bedroom. it stops when he is fully awake and he puts it down to auditory dreaming. but over the next few months the lion and other strange noises coming from the other side of the wall wake him from his sleep and then during the day he begins to hear the same sounds, all the times coming from some where on the other side of a wall.
when he checks about hearing problems and auditory hallucinations on the Internet he comes across blogs where people have been posting their similar experiences. they all have one thing in common Toronto western hospital emergency in 2003.
the bloggers claim that the military industrial complex were experimenting at toronto western hospital with some way of creating the appearance of mental illness. allegedly small nano carbon brushes are rubbed in the patients ear where the bristles break off, enter the skin through everyday movements like walking. they work their way deeper till they hit the auditory nerve which they scratch against causing noises which become more noticeable as they get closer to the nerve.
then when the person complains to a doctor about noises and no reason could be found they could be sold medication for some psycological malaise. the big pharma got their money and the dr. got reimbursed extra for implanting the nano thorns.
not long after that ...
