Whew! Not tonsillitis then. When I was 5 and got a bunch of earaches, they took out my tonsils. And used ether to put me under, a yuck I'll never forget.

But here's a story that would have been truly emetic to witness: I can tell he's Canadian by the tuque. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police always get their man (part).

When I was a little kid, I had tonsillitis all the time. Well my doc advised against removing them because they were small, and he said as I got older they would shrink, and I wouldn't have problems in adulthood. The last time I had a bout was when I was 18. Nothing at all since then. And the old coot is still practicing medicine, and he is in his late 70s.
