Well, my doctor also laughed his ass off (which was much needed, the end of the year is so stressful and busy for us), and says you definitely need at least two weeks off from those kinds of fun activities LMAO

When I reminded him the 3 tonsil bleeds we’ve seen in the last 6 months have all been males ages 16-25 he shook his head

I wonder if I can convince the doctor to discreetly tell young men not to whack it for like a week post surgery. I’m showing him this post tomorrow.

Oh my god, you’re not our patient, but we had a recent tonsil tonsillectomy patient (M21) turn into a blood geyser around the 4-5 day post op too. Apparently he also had to get cauterized twice, but he had to go under and get the stitches. We saw him today and everything looks fine now, but when he comes in for his next post op appointment IM GOING TO WONDER IF THIS IS WHY HE BLED SO BADLY

Such an awesome place. My mom lives in North Bonneville and works in White Salmon. The view from her work is also super amazing! I can’t wait to escape the Midwest to that area someday
