Today, at the age of 27, I learnt that your tonsils aren't the dangly bit at the back of your throat. I work in healthcare. FML

Didn't you ever see Monster House? That's totally where I learned about the uvula from!

This is why they call what doctors do, "practice".

Tonsils meaning plural. You have more than one. You only have one uvula (the dangly bit at the back of your throat) so I really don't see how you could confuse the two. YDI

You're in healthcare and didn't know what tonsils were? Also "learnt" isn't a word it is "learned"

It would behoovula to take care of your uvula.

This is why i prefer the Internet to find out about what i have rather than a doctor

How can that be your tonsilS when there's only one??

It's actually a very clever evolutionary trick the tonsils have developed over time to protect themselves with a decoy

at the age of 26 I realize that my medical knowledge is more vast than certain healthcare professionals
