The doctor said, with a smile on his face, “Come in and let me look at that ear.” He cleansed his hands before peeking inside Luc’s ear for the first time. His grin, though, vanished as soon as he noticed what was in Luc’s ear. He took his otoscope off his desk and showed Luc and Romy how doctors examine ears. Luc hesitated briefly. The gadget appeared menacing. But he consented when the doctor promised him a lollipop. The doctor drew nearer and instructed the anxious kid to remain very still before using the otoscope to have a detailed look into his ear.
