Now if I could only do something about these tonsils… At your service: self-tonsillectomy. (There's also a lead here on instructions for auto-trepanning, should that prove necessary.)

Calm down, jdog. Like a vasectomy, the procedure can usually be reversed. You can even have mine, if you want it. I’m not using it. My appendix, I mean, not my vas deferens. You can’t have that.

DAMN! I just went and took out my appendix, and now you tell me! I thought this was a credible site for medical information! You tease! (you flirt, you shine all the buttons on your green shirt…)

The above comment is in the form of a blog entry that’s well worth reading. It’s a refutation of my very public entreaties to have your appendix removed before it’s necessary.

I do not believe that doctors commonly perform preemptive surgery like this. I think they would be alarmed if you made such a request. My urgings were not made in seriousness. I hope that no one considers http://www.isoglossia.com a credible source of expert medical opinion. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to point this out, itn@.
