Not much. I had buildup of wax in my right ear, the couldn't wash it out. They they told me to have my employer do it which is the senior living center in warroad minn. The er doctor refused to prescribe any comfott meds for my symptoms. I did not feel any better after I left, especially after waiting for some time. No one even checked in om me for 30 min. When the dr came in he apologized for being gone so long walking his dog. I respect Doctors and nurses but for the er charges the could hve at least helped me with cleaning my ear and prescribing comfort meds.
