The walk-in centre said they only do ears if you have an appointment .......... ok, make me an appointment. "Oh we can't do that, you have to phone". And i'm trying to tell them, i can't hear, i can't use the phone.
It's a rigmarole, isn't it?
I needed my ears syringing so I eventually managed to make a booking at my local walk-in centre. Contrary to the name, you cannot just walk in!
The earliest they could see me was in several weeks, so I decided I'd do it myself.
I have a 60ml syringe which I 'came by' many years ago which was just the job. I use that regularly now.
My advice, though, is to make sure you use warm water, at or slightly above body temperature. Any cooler and you're likely to feel nauseous, at least that's my experience.
