That I have no problem with.
But saying that appendicitis could just "go away" is reckless.
In all fairness to the doctor he may have been misquoted.

I try not to be too critical of these things because someone had to present a complicated matter in just a few paragraphs. Anyone ambitious enough can always search out the original report and deal with the stunning, boggling terminology usually found there.
My daughter had chronic appendicitis, which lasted for months. She kept getting sick and having elusive symptoms until it finally localized and became more distinct. Then they were able to diagnose it because the pain got to the point where they did a CAT scan.
It did NOT resolve itself, but got progressively worse. She had the laproscopic surgery and wouldn’t even have spent the night in the hospital except for the fact that the surgery was so late in the day that she didn’t have time to come out of the anesthesia before nighttime.
She was back on her feet and getting around in a couple days. It’s amazing the recovery with that kind of surgery with an appendix that didn’t rupture.
