Emma, Julia, and I (Kat) visited Dr. McElveen’s clinic today to shadow him during a few appointments and procedures. One procedure that stood out among the others was when a patient came to the clinic with fungus in his ear. When the doctor found the fungus and alerted the patient, the patient was surprised which amazed us as he wasn’t even aware that the fungus had grown after his surgery. We watched as Dr. McElveen extracted the fungus which highlighted the both gross and fascinating sides of medicine (that fungus can grow in your ear without you even knowing!!).
