A 56 y/o male:
Patient: I broke my nose when I was younger and it had a bad curve, but since I've gotten older and started to wear glasses, it straightened out.
Me: You had your nose straightened with surgery?
Patient: No, wearing glasses with the nose pads just seemed to straighten it out.
Me: OK, that's great (it actually looked quite straight).
I couldn't think of anything else to say. For the rest of the day, however, I kept taking off my glasses to look at and feel my relatively flimsy nose pads.
I had no idea they were capable of such great feats!
I'm sure the plastic surgeons and ENT doctors will try to keep this from becoming widespread knowledge.
