A tonsillitis sufferer until a single laser tonsillectomy under local anaesthetic sorted it out:

Well Doctor,

You lasered my tonsils into vapour back in about April.

Impossible to prove a negative of course, but they've just had their first real test.

The mega stuffy cold has just done its rounds of my office and caught me well.

Previous history for me has been that 7/10 prolonged colds would result in me getting tonsillitis - but I've come through this cold unscathed.

Long may it continue!
