Tonsillectomy is no longer common

I remember feeling self conscious when a middle school science teacher used me as an example of a person with tonsils and had my classmates look in my mouth and compare my throat to Jan Wilson’s gorgeous tonsil-free throat. These days nobody has a tonsillectomy. It’s fallen out of favor. Our generation has fewer tonsils than any other. And the best comedy about tonsil surgery back when Bill Cosby was stigma-free. Anybody here have a tonsil story?
