Cambodia ear trip

Dr Ooi recently returned from his first trip to Cambodia where he was part of a group of ENT surgeons, anaesthetists, audiologists and nurses who provide ear surgery and assessments in Cambodia. The number of ear infections, perforated ear drums and cholesteatoma over there is much higher than in Australia. There is a great need for the ear treatments the patients require that is not as easily available as it is in Australia. The trip was hard work but rewarding as the patients were very grateful to receive the care. The trip is financed individually and kind donations of equipment and medical supplies. Southern ENT hopes to continue its involvement with the aid work in Cambodia through Dr Ooi.

Spring: Time to sort out that nose!!

As the weather improves, pollen counts starts to rise and nasal symptoms start to cause many patients to experience a major deterioration in their quality of life. "Now is the time for patients with seasonal symptoms to use their nasal steroids daily" advises Professor Simon Carney. " By using steroid spray regularly and before the start of the hay fever season,many patients can avoid symptoms when our pollen count really starts to rise". If you have not seen your ENT Surgeon for some time or unsure about your symptoms and the best way to manage them, please ask your GP for advice.
