WELL THAT SUCKS...

A young woman has partially lost her hearing after her boyfriend ruptured her eardrum during an excessively passionate kiss.

The twentysomething woman was taken to hospital in the Chinese city of Zhuhai, in southern Guangdong province, completely deaf in her left ear after the smooch.

'The kiss reduced pressure in the mouth, pulled the eardrum out and caused the breakdown of the ear,' a medic called Dr Li told state newspaper The China Daily.

The doctor said the woman's hearing would return to normal within two or three months.

'While kissing is normally very safe, doctors advise people to proceed with caution,' the newspaper added.


Fuck it! Isn't life hard enough without having to worry about a kiss making your head explode?

LOL-SURGERY

A British surgeon volunteering in the Democratic Republic of Congo used text message instructions to perform a life-saving arm amputation, he said on Wednesday.

David Nott knew that the 16-year-old boy needed a forequarter amputation removing his left shoulder blade after his arm was bitten off by a hippopotamus while fishing.

But the general and vascular surgeon had never carried out such an operation before and knew it was a huge risk.

So he text messaged a London colleague who texted him back telling him how to do it.


In a stunning exclusive, this blog has obtained a transcript of the text messages exchanged between the two doctors:
