If you care to check them you'll find that quacks like Philben had to wait until the 1970s to get even pseudo-credentials as "Doctors of Osteopathy". This disgraceful turn of events occurred solely because of a shortage of regular doctors. Your question therefore is meaningless. He presumably would have been in trouble had he attempted such an operation. His only option would be to refer the patient to a REAL doctor. But then, osteopaths do not believe in drugs or operations, even if, in modern times, some incorporate those treatments.
It could be that the experimental child Oswald was directed to such a doctor in order to limit exposure to any medical record. You might be missing the obvious here. This needed to be done years ago when someone could have directly asked Philben about his treatment of tonsillectomies in the 1940's. His associates could have been asked too. Even the insurance policy itself could have been covert compensation to Marguerite for her participation in the experiment.
