Quote:Number 2 would have problems. Doctors, I'm sure, are sophisticated enough to distinguish between regrown tonsils and originals. They are professional enough to see there were no surgery marks and therefore no removed tonsils. Being a doctor I think Dr Philben would be smart enough to realize this too and know he couldn't get away with it. Professional doctors would not reach for the easily disproven 'regrown tonsils' excuse as quickly as you do because they would realize it wouldn't work - just as it isn't working for you here. Doctors also collect data. They want to collect statistics on regrown tonsil rates. They would inquire and ask Marguerite and even Lee if the original tonsils were removed. Perhaps you sense these serious flaws so you prefer number 1.
What bones and muscles do you manipulate to treat tonsils? And what possible reason would Marguerite think whatever manipulation she witnessed was intended for the tonsils? You're on swampy ground at best and fishing. Could you please articulate clearly how a non-present Marguerite came to the conclusion that a treatment she had no means of witnessing was a tonsillectomy? Your scenario requires Marguerite to drop Lee off for a non-specific illness for which she had no consultation with the doctor and then made a completely blind assumption that it was a tonsillectomy based on nothing you can describe. I'm sorry but you're not seriously offering this to adult people? You're not seriously offering this after attacking and ridiculing people for their entries? Is this what a mother would have done with a 5 year old child? Dropped him off and guessed?
Are you joking? You dare offer something like this? This is the old option number one isn't that believable so offer option number two, but then bounce it back to number one since number two isn't that believable either...
Doctor can tell the difference between regrown tonsils and originals? ROFL. Got a cite for that, Albert?
Philben was NOT a MD in 1945. Will you guys ever get that through your skulls? The only bodies recognizing him as a doctor were Osteopathic associations.
This is from the Michigan Daily, October 4, 1972. I did link to it before but apparently none of you are really interested in learning, only in how to get me off this board.

There is NO WAY that Philben was licensed to practice medicine as an MD in 1945 - and therefore no way he could legally have performed any operation.
Moreover, if somehow he did perform this operation, and the FBI destroyed the medical records to hide a CIA plot involving two boys, then ewhy didn't they also destroy the mastoidectomy records?
So let's try and work backwards, okay?
ON April 17, 1945, Marguerite took out a life insurance policy on Lee and wrote on the form that Lee had had a tonsillectomy performed by Dr Philben on Jan 17 of that same year.
You should by now however, be accepting that this was not possible.
Which leaves us to try and explain why she wrote what she wrote.
If you have better explanation, please provide them.
If you insist Philben must have performed this operation, back it up with evidence.
