Ghoulish, unethical, profit-seeking quacks would say that, though, wouldn’t they? Let’s see what they think once they’ve got a community organizer with four years of federal policy experience riding herd on them. There’s a new sheriff in town, bloodsuckers!

He is really coming across as a spoiled brat when he doesn't automatically get his way. I swear, we'll be seeing him throw himself on the floor at the next PC, hold his breath and stamp his feet.
Obama certainly suffers from ‘an invasion of wind and heat’. “There’s some hot air blowin’ in here.”
There is some research that shows that enlarged tonsils are related to ADHD like symptoms in children. The children are overtired from difficulties breathing when they sleep and they kids snore terribly. The ADHD symptoms remit after the tonsils are removed or shrink naturally
Thank you for sharing that with the class, Johnny.
She had the surgery last Thursday. We'll see the ENT for the followup next week so I'll ask if he's an Obama supporter (no idea of his politics...but he's smart and Australian).
really? You don’t happen to know the title of the thread do you? I would like to look it up....
I was around 30 as well, also had the peritonsilar abscesses which had to be lanced two times! The pain was incredibly intense when they were lanced..I have had many broken bones, torn muscles, ligaments, lots of stitches etc. but nothing ever came any where close to that pain. When I finally was well enough to get the tonsils out, I could not eat for at least two weeks. At least the pain went away after a few hours after the lancing, this never did. In those two weeks I lost 25 pounds, and that was when I had about 4 percent body fat. A friend of mine saw me and said, “you look as weak as a cat”, I’ll never forget that! I went through around 160 percodan in those two weeks. They also had to put me on a heavy dose of steroids to help. Tonsillectomies are one of the worst surgery’s an adult can have. If you have a child that needs them out but you are balking, have them out. It really is a BAD BAD operation for adults. yuck, awful memory!
Oh, man!! Is that for real? My daughter has had increasing concentration problems over the last couple of years. If her surgery fixes these concentration/space-case episodes she occasionally lapses into, I will cry huge tears of joyful, grateful happiness.
Yep, me too. According to my doctor (whom I trust) an emergency c-section saved my son and me, but I also know that our valley has a 40% c-section rate. That seems high!
A tonsilectomy is one procedure which has improved over the years. When my brother and I had ours removed (1950s), we stayed in the hospital for 5 days. Today, these procedures are done outpatient, and the risks are fairly low.
Over the years, many procedures which were once considered major surgery have become much easier thanks to research and advances in medicine. I believe that if ObamaCare goes into effect, all those advances will dry up.
well, you don’t have to work for government.... we conservatives could come to y’all while we’re waiting for gov docs to see us.... I mean surely there’s a way.... we gonna be smuggling our guns, why not our medical care?? I don’t blame you though.... I teach at a private school and will NEVER teach at a public school...won’t work for this government either....

Lol, yes you will. He has energized your life!
Obama is in WAY over his head. If he were a man (which he is not, he's a street activist loser) he would resign NOW for the good of America...
My dread was not the tonsils being removed in the 50’s..it was walking in the hospital halls in the gown with my butt showing...
I had to have my tonsils and adenoids removed. I kept getting repeated strep throat. I had it at least six times over a span of several months. The doctors kept trying stronger antibiotics, but nothing worked. They said that some people can be “carriers” of strep throat. They said the tonsils had to come out, so I went to the ENT, and he removed my tonsils and adenoids. The surgery was miserable but necessary, and I understand they now can use lasers to do the surgery which wasn’t available 10 years ago when I had it done. It was effective. I stopped getting strep, and I have only had it one time in the 10 years after the surgery.
