Tonsillectomies: Not Just For Kids Any More

New study suggests that removing your tonsils may hugely decrease sore throats and doctor visits. Remember when you were eight and you begged your parents to let you get a tonsillectomy, but they refused, because they thought you were going to die of blood loss? And you told them that your sore throats were so frequent and painful that you wanted to risk it? But they were all, "No, Carrie, we are your parents, and you can make that decision when you're 18"? And then the doctor told you that if you could get past childhood with your tonsils intact, then the sore throats would go away, because tonsillitis is a disease of the young? Yeah, me too.
