No doctors except Jacko’s would want to put a child under anathesia for no reason. The potential for a huge lawsuit if something goes wrong is too great.
Zero has stepped outside of his ‘cult of personality’ and now actually believes he can say ANYTHING and not be held accountable. Ask me if I think there are too many Cesarean births when my Doctor let me labor for 36 hours before finally allowing the procedure. My son wouldn’t have survived much longer.
I had my tonsils and adenoid out when I was five. Never missed them.
My daughter, OTOH, had to have them removed when she turned 15. Why? Tonsil stones, inflammation, infection and other nasties because doctors DON’T remove them like they did during the 60’s and 70’s. It’s far more painful and you have a much longer recovery time as you age. She was on Percocet for two weeks!
The Obamination is an idiot and his “I play one on TV” is going to cost us dearly.
As someone who has worked in health care for more than 25 years, I am appalled on behalf of the dedicated people I work with.
When I heard his comments, something gave way inside me. I have tried to keep the emotional component at bay since November 2008, but I seethed listening to this.
What an arrogant, ignorant, steaming pantload he is.
Actually closer to 150 days in the Senate....
Obama reminds me of Kramer (Seinfeld) telling George not to have his tonsils taken out by the evil medical industry, and instead to the go to the wacko herbalist.
[Setting: Healer’s apartment]
TOR: (Pouring tea) Your tea is ready now. This will solve your so-called tonsil problem. It’s a special concoction. It contains crampbark.
JERRY: I love crampbark.
TOR: Cleavers.
JERRY: Cleaver, I once had cleaver as a kid. I was able to lift a car.
TOR: And some couchgrass.
JERRY: Couchgrass and crampbark? You know, I think that’s what killed Curly.
(Tor hands George the tea. George isn’t willing to drink it right away. Jerry looks skeptical, Kramer, on the other hand, is enthusiastic)
and sometimes the gallbladder too... just hope and pray ya don't lose yer legs in the process.But the lightworker with 143 days attendance in the Senate knows more than somebody who went to medical school and has years of practice under his/her belt. /sarcasm of course
But...but...shouldn't it be the government via politicians to decide when one and who gets their tonsils out?
After all government wants to rape us all financially so they can pay for it.
Usually a pediatrician never does the surgery anyway...so how is it that a pediatrician would make money off this procedure? BeeO is so over his head it ain’t funny.......
I am disgusted by this slander of doctors.
But Obama’s agenda is to alienate people from their physicians so that the government which is trustworthy/sarc can take over the decision making. Of course their agenda will be the fee schedule in reverse.

Perhaps in his research on top medical issues facing the U.S. today, Obama conferred with noted ENT specialist Barney Frank. Tonsillectomies must be a form of sexual mutilation to him.
This moment may be his Waterloo. Calling pediatricians greedy is a low blow, and tells you more about his lack of character than most other things. I would imagine most parents have a very close relationship with their young children’s doctor. These days politics is all about getting the message to hit home, and this one hits home in a big way.
It’s too bad congress is exempt from Obamacare. Maybe it would put a stop to all the unnecessary spinectomies and frontal labotamies. Not to mention the botox and plastic surgery bills.
Apparently not after Obamacare is instituted! From then on kids will just be told to live with it that is unless you are a minority then you will probably get what you need.
I’m 61 years old. When I was a child (decades ago, before any kind of socialized medicine), it was recommended that I have my tonsils out. Lo and behold, I didn’t have anymore sore throats that required this type of surgery. I’ve still got my tonsils (atrophied as they may be).
The last word in the title should be chump. LOL!!!
