and my doctor is all the way in Detroit... no other doctor will perform the surgery on me because I dont have medical history of chronic tonsil problems. Even though I do have fucked up tonsils, without the paperwork showing that the ENT wont even consider it. With this doctor though, I'm sure its all about money. I dont have health insurance im just going to try and pay cash. Its pretty sketchy but i hate my fucking tonsils i want to cut them out with a razor blade.

When I was 17 man, I had been getting tonsil stones really bad for about a year. One day I investigated, and found a gaping whole in one of my tonsils. This turned into an abscess, which made my tonsil explode when I took a drink of tea one day. I think feeling my tonsil tear open from the inside and pop like that was the most painful experiences of my life. It leaked puss for about a day and I went to the doctor. They proceeded to burn my tonsils out with a laser . Your going to feel like shit for a minute man. I was confined to my bed for a month when it happened to me, and if I didn't stay really high on the opiates they gave me it was too painful to eat or talk. I pretty much became dependent on them to do those things actually.

dude, if your tonsils swell within a reasonable amount it means they're doing their job. They're lymph nodes and fight infection surrounding your throat area. Getting rid of them would actually hurt your immune system and instead of your tonsils hurting you could now have some serious infection pain.
Fuck, read the above post... the guy who had his tonsils burst didn't even get them removed! They have a good purpose.

derp indeed, read that as they cauterized them. My bad. Still, there's a reason nobody will chop them out. They used to remove them if you complained at all, but now they know more about the lymphatic system and realize that's a bad idea.

No, it's a great idea. Please do not speak on something you have zero knowledge or experience concerning. Good luck Atheist.

Be happy...at least you found someone. That doctor is an idiot to take you, because if something happens on the table, he's gonna have to explain why the fuck he's doing an "unnecessary surgery" to his insurance. Meanwhile, people can die from plastic surgery all day long and the same stigma doesn't apply.

Are you a medical professional? If not, be quiet. There's a reason no doctors will do it and I have seen this over and over again. Fuck, I've seen epiglottitis that spread to the lymph nodes (via the lymphatic system, HURPADURP) and they still didn't cut those fuckers out.
