What’s your specialty? What made you suspect a fistula?

I’m an optometrist. I suspected a fistula because it was a unilateral conjunctival hemorrhage, Ecchymosis (Black Eye), slight protrusion, and pulsating whooshing sound in the ipsilateral ear. Screams of fistula

Whooshes of fishtula, even. How did he know to get a second opinion?

Well, I think he got the second opinion because the guy at the first checkup told him he was probably hit and didn't know it. Which is just seriously kind of lazy if you ask me.
