Question by Sanjeev S: should i go for tonsil surgery?
i’m into hard-core snoring, especially when i’m tired or have cold. its been disturbing my family’s sleep for pretty long. i went to see the ENT doctor, who after diagnosing me suggested that my tonsil is the one of the main obstructions in my sleep. at that time my heart and lungs have to work all the more, so that i get proper oxygen. i’m 37 now and the doctor said that because of heart and lungs overworking, i may land up with my first-heart-attack by 50. thus i should have my tonsil removed which stop the obstruction in the intake of my oxygen and also will put an end to the tonsilitis which i frequently get during winters. i’m just not sure, as whether a tonsil removal, is the soln., to my snoring and its surgery would not result in any other unseen problems.

Question by msd_rn1983: Consent for surgery among divorced parents?
My fiance and I need legal advice. His ex-wife has decided, on her own, that their son needs to have adenoid removal surgery. No true reasoning other than she, “just doesn’t want him to get sick.” He is only 5yrs old. I’m a nurse and I don’t agree with this decision because even if his adenoid are swollen where he may snore at times, they will reduce in size as he gets older. The question I have is, Can she agree to surgery without the father’s consent?

He needs to hire a lawyer and get a guardian at litem appointed to his son. He can take her to court to stop her and the guardian can speak on his sons behalf.

She might have sleep apnea. She will need to do a sleep study to see if she has it and there is a machine she can use to help her. Otherwise, losing weight will help too.

Question by ignitkrit: I have very bad sleep apnea, and i snore loudly..can I do surgery myself with paper clips and a laser pointer?
My snoring really bothers my wife. I was considering performing emergency surgery on myself here at the office and surpising her with no snoring tonight. Would I need any other office supplies that I may have looked over?

Question by Rohan: Is tonsil and adenoid surgery together the right thing to do?
My son is 5 yrs old and had problems with extremely enlarged tonsils and adenoids.
The tonsils have come for the first time in his entire 5 yrs but the the adenoid problem persists from last two years. He snores during sleep and has a hard time breathing at night sometimes. He also has a problem with choking. The pediatric ENT Advised us today go for the surgery to remove both adenoids and tonsils. Is it better just to get it done together or just go for adenoid surgery right now ? Please advise us.
