AN elderly woman was shocked when she found that the 'insect' which had entered her ear was actually a live centipede.
The centipede which also stung the woman’s ear was successfully removed by a doctor after she sought help at a clinic.
According to reports in Kosmo, Dr Wan Huzaify, who treated the elderly person, said in a social media post that the incident occurred at midnight when he was called by his clinic staff.
"Doctor, please attend to this patient urgently … she is complaining that an insect has entered her ear.
"Using an otoscope, I managed to extract the 'bug' from the patient's ear. Initially, I thought it was just a flea bite, but I was wrong. Thankfully, I was able to provide her relief and put an end to her discomfort," he said.
Dr Wan said he initially thought it was just a flea bite, but it turned out to be something else.
“I am happy I was able to help the aunty who was suffering,” he said. - December 24, 2024
