Oh dear: A Brazilian man who went to the doctor suffering from ear trouble ended up undergoing more radical treatment than he expected - when he underwent a vasectomy. Valdemar Lopes de Moraes, 39, was suffering from muffled hearing, and thought his name had been called out in the waiting room at a clinic in the town of Montes Claros in south-eastern Minas Gerais state, Reuters news agency reported. What a silly sod eh?: Mr de Moraes, a local farmer, later told staff he thought his ear inflammation had reached as far as his testicles. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3169049.stm
