25-year-old Varanya Nganthavee will likely remember her first day as a doctor at Rajavithi Hospital in Bangkok for a very long time.<\/p>\n

After all, it\u2019s not every day that you find a live gecko in a patient\u2019s ear.<\/p>\n

That didn\u2019t happen, so a nurse had to use tweezers to yank it out. Only it wasn\u2019t an insect, but a small gecko lizard commonly known as Jing Jok in Thailand.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t just a small bug, it was a gecko! It was still alive and moving,\u201d Varanya Nganthavee wrote in a since-deleted Facebook post. \u201cThis was my last case of the day\u2026. I am so confused. How did a huge gecko crawl into a tiny ear hole?\u201d<\/p>\n
