I'm confused

Cath62- just to clarify about tonsils ! I was told by a dr years ago that surgical technique’s years ago were not sophisticated and often tonsils only snipped off ( in fact they sorta had roots and they’d regrow_ that’s perhaps not  the correct medical,expression - see link .) My mother had noted I’d had my tonsils out twice in the family bible in separate years and I’d alway thought she’d got it wrong but he said no, it happened often.
