I eventually got sent to a nose specialist

My nose specialist was a very gentle man

I said

"Do I have to hurl my head backwards and twist myself into some strange shape so you can see what you need to see?"

He said

"No need to hurl your head back or contort yourself for me. Just sit where you are and very slightly tilt your head - no, not that much, just a tiny bit. That's it."

He too some stainless steel nostril spreaders and gently slightly widened my nose holes. Gently and slightly.

"You need a scan so we can see more" he said

I went to the scan

He saw the results

"Polyps. Nasal Polyps" he said

"Lots of them - absolutely packed. Beeen growing for a long long time. Wonder how anyone missed that?" he mused

Do I sue?

Or do I just decide I am as worthless as the doctors have for all these years?
