Thanks. Yeah, I heard they moved some things over to Rib. Did you end up getting your tonsils out?
My tonsils are pretty much trashed from all these infections—it’s always some kind of nasty case of strep throat. Even when I’ve had throat swabs done, they never actually find strep, but my throat still feels like it's being torn apart. Sometimes the inflammation gets so bad within a single day that I can't even sleep because of the pain. I saw a specialist at Holy Spirit once, and he didn't recommend surgery. Sure, after a round of antibiotics, the pain goes away, but my tonsils always stay red and swollen.
And how long is the typical wait for those people putting in orders?

Does anyone know a solid Otolaryngologist over by Salisbury? I’ve been dealing with constant throat infections for a while now and I'm actually considering getting my tonsils out. I'd really prefer to see someone at a smaller, high-quality practice. It feels awkward just walking into a massive hospital system without a recommendation.
Thanks
