I think that’s the whole point of the charade. As I understand it, the girl was in there for an operation to correct snoring due to obesity. That a doctor suggested that avenue (surgery) over the route of a strict regimen to correct the underlying cause seems questionable in the least.

They should have just given her a C-pap.

Her tonsillectomy was to address pediatric obstructive sleep apnea, which caused severe snoring, stop-and-go breathing in her sleep, a lack of an attention span and urinating on herself.
She went through a sleep study and the physician recommended the tonsillectomy. The family sought a second opinion and the other physician agreed with the recommendation.
