On display at the entrance to the hospital’s Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic are the weird items that have been removd from kids ears, nostrils and throats over the years. Latex balloons and magnets, a cellphone button that was stuck in a teenager’s ear, a gum wrapper removed from a child’s nostril (it had been there for a couple of weeks!).
