A member asked:
Ear pain lasting 3 months, visited ent and told me i needed surgery for deviated septum. concerned about connection and quick decision for surgery ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reasonable concern: Sadly sometimes a doc is driven to do procedures that pay better than consulting about pain. I don't have all the facts about your visit, but this could be an optional issue that could be fixed if the other issue was broadly addressed to your satisfaction.
