CASTLEGAR NEWS, November 7, 1979 Speaking of Torn Sarcrum Your Health By Lester L. Coleman, M.D. About a year ago, I tore my with a cotton tip It was absolutely ridiculous. I had been cleaning my ear and just forgot the swab was still there when I turned and hit any bathroom mirror. Do these perforations of the eardrum ever heal by themselves? Mine has not healed. — Miss E.E.M., R.I1. Dear Miss M.: It is astonishing how often the eardrum is punctured through carelessness, Even though the outer ear canal is curved, somehow an ap- plicator, apencil, a paper clip, or a hairpin can injure and perforate the eardrum. A blow on the ear, even a playful one, can sometimes do the same thing. When these injuries are seen by the doctor im- mediately,many of the per- forations can be made to heal. When neglected, infection may set in and prevent the opening in. the drum from closing. Ear specialists ‘can cover the opening with a semi- permeable membrane and cauterize the edges of the hole so that healing can take place. If healing does not occur, and a perforation of the eardrum persists, there are a number of operations to help correct the defect. The operations, known = as ‘“*myringoplasty'’ and “tympanoplasty,"’ can, in most instances, effect a complete closure of the hole in the eardrum. In those cases where there is a hearing loss, there often can be an im- can be nded The plastic surgeon can only predict that you will be cosmetically benefited. He cannot, however, guarantee that you will be thrilled by the outcome. There are so many in the of Tourism study to toned | - for two meetings this week — Tho British Columbia Tourism Study will convene two meetings in the Koot- enay-Boundary tourist region on Thursday and Friday. The consulting firm of Marshall Macklin Monaghan Limited in conjunction with healing that no one can tell how you will react to surgery. Before embarking on any pr nt ing such surgery. I doubt very much that, after a year, the opening in your eardrum can spon- taneously heal. An ear specialist's opinion will definitely guide you in the best choice of treatment at this ime. ne lam ic surgery, should ask the surgeon all the questions that concern them. Only in this way can pre- operative enthusiasm be followed by post-operative satisfaction. Lung Disease Lung function testing indicates that 25 per cent of the Canadian population, ap- an operation to remove the bags from under my eves, I won't do it unless the surgeon can guarantee a. good result. — Mrs. B.L., Texas. Dear Mrs, L.: No surgeon could possibly “guarantee” the results of a cosmetic operation. A Patient’s desire for im- provement may never be satisfied, even if the operation is done by the most skillful surgeon.
