In the vast majority of cases, removal of tonsils is NOT required. MDs push people into it, as they do with the equally unneccessary wisdom teeth removal.
“equally unneccessary wisdom teeth removal.”
Why do you say that? I’m 60 and never had my impacted wisdom teeth removed. No problems so far but everyone I know has had theirs out.
Hmmm..my guess would be that quite a few doctors make reasonably good money with those operations ;-)
However, my wisdom teeth had to be extracted because they were pushing all my other teeth forward; obviously my alveolas happen to be too short to accomodate a full set of sixteen teeth to every jaw.
