For half a century," Dr. John Wennberg declared in a 1977 issue of Pediatrics, "the tonsil has been the target of a large-scale, uncontrolled surgical experiment—tonsillectomy." Jack Wennberg had just taken the pin out of a grenade—and he knew it. With the phrase "uncontrolled surgical experiment," he acknowledged what few doctors at that time would admit: they operated on people without knowing, with certainty, whether the procedure would do the patients any good. And in this case the patients were children.
