I heard a talk by a professor on this tonsil statistic among other health care stuff. He sighted a study that one doctor in a state did significantly more tonsillectomies than normal. After his talk I asked him if they investigated the reasons. He said no. I asked if its possible that other doctors could have been referring them to him if he was more comfortable doing them and he said that was certainly a possibility but no one checked.
The WSJ may chuckle over this but, as most of us know, crazy rules that don’t become law because of citizen opposition have a way of becoming law, one way or another... sooner or later.
I’d like to thank Perry for publicizing yet another insane trial balloon from this administration.
