As in all medical situations, individual circumstance should be considered. Dr. Yoon is doing amazing research to help us all understand more. Misusing information is often the result of folks not actually reading the research and/or understanding the research using critical thinking and evaluation for what they are reading and how it might apply in any situation, in my opinion.
At her talk today, Dr Yoon made sure that there should be no confusion- most children with tonsil and adenoid enlargement and skeletal deficiency need both treated. Her paper is being misquoted and misapplied to give false hope to parents about avoiding surgery.
