[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to go annually, do all the checkups, jump through all the hoops, but several years of terrible care and [b]blatantly incompetent clinicians (e.g. diagnosed me with "tonsillitis" in the tonsils I had removed when I was 8[/b]), and I just can't trust them anymore. I've also been abused by doctors who had a poor sense of boundaries, including being stalked by a doctor. I now get horribly nervous even thinking about going to the doctor, and my general health is suffering.

How am I supposed to get over this? I still have a body, and it's still going to need care![/quote]

[quote]Now that your grandson has had his tonsils taken out he cannot get a 'true' tonsillitis, but the beds of tissue at the back of his throat from where his tonsils were removed could still become infected and that may be what his doctor is referring to now.[/quote][/quote]

I had strep, which is why I booked the appointment, and said as much, because both my kids had recently had strep and I knew both my body and what my experience was. After being told it was tonsillitis I should gargle some salt water for, I went to an urgent care and got a rapid strep and abx.

But keep digging, doc. [/quote]

... what kind of strep infection did you think you had, if not strep pharyngitis? [/quote]
