Cindy and Carol Get Their Tonsils Removed!

[@gretchennelson7056]

“Well you might have said something Mike!” “Honey I was afraid to open my mouth for fear he’d take mine out too”😂😂😂😂

[@mikep5335]

If I were Carol I would be like, "no way, jose, you're not doing some bogus surgery just so you can send me a 3000 bill for no reason.". It's amazing how much people let doctors bully them.

[@yasminvaughn2975]

That's funny how Carol did not want to have her tonsils out but wanted Cindy to have hers out!

This copy The Danny Thomas show from the 50s Linda didn't want to get her tonsils taken out but her dad Danny did then he had to get his out and he didn't want to

[@ThisisstillMYROOM.]

Who wants to go into hospital; it’s noisey , they don’t give you enough blankets and they generally are rude and uncaring.

[@TnseWlms]

When Beaver Cleaver needed his tonsils out at first he doesn't want to but his parents tell him about no school, a pretty nurse, gifts from all your relatives and all the ice cream you can eat. Then he looks forward to it, and thinks it'll be even more fun than Christmas. He thinks he might get to ride to the hospital in an ambulance and sit up with the driver, and some of his friends are going to ask for tonsillectomies for their birthdays. Then when the doctor decides he doesn't need it, Beaver hates it.

This is why you never volunteer to demonstrate any kind of medical examination. Sometimes, you end up having body parts removed that you fully expected to go to your grave with.

[@charlespeakjr2168]

True that.

[@jackmeyhoffer5107]

A doctor who makes house calls and checking people into the hospital the night BEFORE surgery? Those days are long gone.

I Love this TV show because it is so appropriate for children and and it is one of my favorite shows

Get well soon carol and Cindy

[@charlespeakjr2168]

They cut out the part when Mr. Phillips, Mike's boss calls the house, and Carol thinking that Mike is checking up on her again, tosses out a bunch of insults about Mr. Phillips and his boat. Unfortunately, when she hangs up the phone, Mike walks in.

I had my tonsils removed 12 years ago. And just like Carol and Cindy, mine were in bad shape too. I'm curious as to how they can go bad.

[@heidirourke1670]

I think they get big and stuff if their so big and bad then get them off

[@TnseWlms]

Barry Williams claims the "doctor" used the same tongue depressor on Carol and Cindy.

[@billyfowler9423]

Now we know removing tonsils was the wrong thing to do. It is believed to be a major factor for the polio epidemic as removing them destroyed the bodies first defense to fight it off.

[@SusanMarie3]

[@Mmdmade]

I’m 52. Still have them.

[@nassauguy48]

Ugh. Dentists. Carol needing her tonsils out despite not experiencing any discomfort? Sounds like Doctor So and So was looking to pay off his wife's mink coat and trip to Europe. 🤣

[@demophys4883]

You think the doctor who diagnosed her was a dentist??

[@jannydots3870]

A Dr that comes to your house, those were the days. My Mom talks about this time all the time, how the Dr. would come to her house when my Grandma called.

[@frala2398]

It makes more sense that way, too. Nothing worse than dragging yourself to the clinic when you're super ill and waiting for who knows how long.

[@northernbettygirl]

Alex, "that Carol's actress" you were poorly referring to, happens to be Florence Henderson

[@AnnaAmoroso-p7h]

[@johnoconnor6356]

Whatever happened to Dr. Porter and Dr. Cameron from last season? If Mike and Carol eventually decided to go with one doctor, it wasn't either of them. It's a wonder that Cindy didn't insist on being treated by a woman, like Petey wanted to be treated by a man in the previous season's measles episode.

[@michellew7105]

What happened to Dr. Porter and Dr. Cameron? 😄

[@cochiefemeralds3616]

I did get my tonsils out at 18 so teenagers and adults take much longer to recover like 2 to 3 weeks

[@cochiefemeralds3616]

It is worse than getting your wisdom teeth removed

[@TnseWlms]

Didn't they have measles vaccinations yet? I remember getting one around 1970. But I still had to survive the chicken pox a few years later.

[@billyfowler9423]

The vaccine had only been out for a few years. I remember watching this as a kid in the 80s and didn't get why they all got measles as not a single kid got them where I grew up, same with mumps.

[@maidahaltrecht6577]

I didn't get the end. Why did he call back and mimic someone when he knew Carol couldn't speak?

[@charlespeakjr2168]

Carol was given strict orders by the doctor not to speak for the first day.

[@maidahaltrecht6577]

@@charlespeakjr2168 Yes, I know that but that still doesn't answer my question of why Mike called again when he specifically knew she couldn't talk.

[@janinewhelan4511]

Why ring her at all when she's not allowed to talk? Carol can hardly be blamed for answering the phone

[@charlespeakjr2168]

@maidahaltrecht6577 Probably to see if Carol would actually listen to the doctor's instructions, which unfortunately she didn't and Alice had been out at the supermarket. Think about it. It was 1970-71. They didn't have the technology then to actually check on our loved ones like we do today.😂

[@charlespeakjr2168]

@janinewhelan4511 Speaking as a husband and as a caregiver, Janine. Sometimes, we do some Stoopid shyte.😱🤦🏿‍♂️ Case in point. My sister-in-law had emergency surgery, and we were unable to contact her husband (now my ex-brother-in-law). When he finally did come up for air, he told my wife that he decided to take an impromptu road trip to North Carolina (we all live in Jersey). We told him about his wife's surgery, but he still didn't come home for 2 weeks. One of the many reasons he is my ex-brother-in-law.

Do people even get their tonsils out anymore? Seems like that never happens nowadays...

[@stephaniesmith5515]

My son got his out when he was 6….but that was 18 years ago. Good question….do they now!?

[@ellenb7587]

My husband and daughter both had to have them out as adults. Horribly painful recoveryas and adult. Kids recover so much faster.

[@scherzva]

I did when I was 4, but that was the early 70s

[@laurenmontera9516]

William Lipton from "General Hospital", David Henrie from "Wizards of Waverly Place", the girl that played the blonde brat in "Camp Rock".

[@billyfowler9423]

Not really. They did it a lot in the 50s and 60s and it is believed to be a factor in the polio epidemic as the tonsils help protect people from getting infections. Some people still get their removed if they have repeated issues with them getting infected, but its pretty rare. This was quackery we were seeing in this episode.

[@lavellwilliams1541]

I got my Tonsils Taken out as a Little boy I was 8 years old

[@RapFanatic4ever]

How did Carol still have tonsils ? You normally get those removed when you’re little . I don’t even remember getting mine removed I think I was a baby then

[@m_d1905]

Most adults have their tonsils. There isn't a reason to remove them for most people. They are lymph nodes in the throat to help keep infection from going deeper into the throat. Doctors stopped taking them out for every little sore throat in the late 70s.

[@mikep5335]

They dont even do this anymore unless theyre cancerous or something

[@laurenmontera9516]

No, it's more like 5 times a year tonsillitis.

Carol looks terrible in this episode...she was already off the wagon by this episode.
