The Magic Tonsillectomy or Armstrong's Voodoo Science?

[Albert Doyle]

But even if you run with it being rare, growing back is still an eminently more probable explanation that a doppelganger. On top of that, there are no hospital or medical records confirming such an operation, and it is yet to be demonstrated that Philben - even if licensed - was not more of a "traditionalist" osteopath. Indeed, I have been advised by a lurker whose done some digging that ads for Osteopaths in Dallas at the time listed against their names such things as Surgeon or DO or in Philben's case, Pediatrician. That may indicate he did not do surgery.

Would Philben be likely to not have explained to Marguerite what his alternative non-surgical method was? And would Marguerite then refer to it by the surgical name afterwards?

Would such a "traditional" osteopath later become chief of staff of a surgical hospital? The pharmacist you are ignoring said tonsillectomies would be a regular part of Dr Philben's routine.

Incriminating FBI disinterest is right where it should be with this as well.
