Rick, thank you for sharing this. You are so right of course. ENT are a bundle of medical negligence and medical trauma.
More awareness needs to get out regarding ENS. I did not even consent to my surgery, he said he would "drain" a mucus retention cyst but now, believe it was just a tiny bit of inflammation that sat in an expanded lower sinus dip in my maxillary sinus, he butchered me, removed my entire sinus wall, cut out my nasolacrimal duct and valve which backs fluid and air into a very painful eye. I have extensive nerve damage. He out-fractured then cut out my turbinate's, and lied about it all....for months, till i had scans done. Yes, it destroyed me and I have no idea why i left to live this way. I went to so many people for help, yes, they all protect each other. I had to travel out of town to learn what happened and its to late for law suit.

Have you been able to find any relief from any different modalities to cope?

When you walk quickly or move fast can your nasal cavity handle the quick rushes of inspired air?

I do appreciate you sharing your experience, although I know it’s traumatizing to re-tell. But these are very true and real and will only be repeated by patients. An ENT will never share these situations with anyone.

Mucous retentions cysts are very common in the Maxillary sinuses. Often sitting on the floor of the maxillary sinus. These are common findings in about 60% of the population. Those especially who have had allergies at one point in life. The only way most people would ever even know they had them is by getting a CT scan. Once that CT scan is in hand, an ENT can chose to review that honestly or use it as an opportunity to present it as something abnormal and to be removed.
This happens all of the time.

I too went to multiple ENTs post surgery to get answers. I finally found one willing to be honest. I asked him whom he would recommend who could possibly help…
His reply “I can’t recommend anyone because I would never trust anyone to touch my nose” from an ENT himself.
