0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:11.880

0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:19.440
<v Speaker 2>might be the ton slides. You can get actually very

0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:22.040
<v Speaker 2>very ill with you and you know with tom sliders.

0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:24.919
<v Speaker 2>She said, look, we might as well take your daughter's

0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:34.200
<v Speaker 2>for fun.

0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:36.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, primary school. I remember kids in the center.

0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:39.199
<v Speaker 3>It's like you gotta saw scratchy throats, get them out.

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:41.839
<v Speaker 2>That's it. We used to beg not to go to

0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 2>the GP. It was like the kiddie catcher and chitty

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 2>chitty bang bang. He's dangling children's tonsils. I'm mine ripped out.

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:52.320
<v Speaker 4>Scratch your throat.

0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Next thing you know, they've got the old gas mask on.

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Come backwards.

0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:58.320
<v Speaker 4>I'll just take a lozenge. Please don't do we need

0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 4>the tonsils. I don't know what do they do.

0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what they're thore is it? Are the

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 2>tonsils like dust flaps? Yeah, you know so as muck

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:14.320
<v Speaker 2>impurities come into the the airways. Is part of a

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:16.279
<v Speaker 2>filtration system.

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 5>I believe. So that's what my mom said.

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:20.760
<v Speaker 2>It's sort of have you got tonsils?

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:21.040
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:22.880
<v Speaker 5>You know what. I should have had them out because

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:24.840
<v Speaker 5>I still occasionally get tonsils.

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 3>Never had a sore throat since Yeah, see this is

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 3>the agony.

0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, not a nice procedure.

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.240
<v Speaker 2>The speedball things at the back of your throat, those

0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 2>tonsils side.

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 3>Wait, the speedball. You should still have the speedball. That's

0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 3>not the tons that's tonsils, isn't it?

0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 4>Open your mouth?

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 2>You should say, what's the speedball?

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 4>Then the speedball? Is it the.

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:54.639
<v Speaker 2>Where we go? It's a different part of the body

0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 2>at the end. Do you mean like that?

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 5>It looks like a boxing bed speedball?

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 4>What is that?

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 2>The tonsils are like two sort of danglis. No, the testicles.

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yes, it is the punching bag.

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, no, tonsils are There's one on the left and

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.320
<v Speaker 5>one on the right. It's further away from the punching bag, isn't.

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 3>It from top of the top of the throat or

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 3>bottom of the.

0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 5>Throat, bottom mount they I thought they were bottom.

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:33.520
<v Speaker 2>So let's get the dust flaps out. Get one of

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:37.240
<v Speaker 2>those dust flaps, just let that dust get in there. Yeah.

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 2>She's going to be off for like two weeks I

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:42.880
<v Speaker 2>think from UNI. So she thought she'd escaped home. She's

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 2>going to come back and recover. It's like misery, all right,

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 2>So can anyone call us up right now? We clearly

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:52.440

<v Speaker 3>And then the thing on the left and right. Well

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.800
<v Speaker 3>you should only have one speedball. If you're multiple of those,

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:22.080
<v Speaker 3>that's that's looking weird.

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:22.480

<v Speaker 2>had mine ripped out, as a lot of kids did

0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 2>when they were younger. In the eighties, they used to

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:37.840
<v Speaker 2>just take them out for fun. I don't know where

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 2>they were getting cash kick back some of these surgeons.

0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 4>Like when you turned old cans and get ten cents

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 4>per ca.

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know anyone who got out the eighties with

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 2>the tonsaws and the other thing I'd removed as well.

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 2>They took those out of someone called the adenoids.

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 5>Yes, yes, Audrey Nellie had to have those out.

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 4>Where are they?

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 5>They're in the ears, aren't they?

0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well they going and rubberts. You go out the

0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 2>back of my throat at the back here, let's take

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:07.720
<v Speaker 2>a quick sharp turning those out. All right, So who

0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 2>can tell us anything about tonsils? Julie?

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 8>Come morning, Good morning, How are you?

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm good, Julie. Now I understand we should definitely talk

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 2>to you. You're a midwife.

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:20.360
<v Speaker 8>No, I'm not a midwife. I am a nurse though.

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:22.479
<v Speaker 2>Oh your nurse. How great you know about this? What

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.040
<v Speaker 2>can you tell us about the three things at the

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:26.160
<v Speaker 2>back of our throats?

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 8>Well, you annoys, they're actually up your nose, so I'd

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 8>be worried if they're in your throat your usula, which

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 8>is that your punching bag? I think you're referring to

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 8>it a medical term. Yeah, it's a medical term. Is

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.960
<v Speaker 8>just a piece of soft tissue that stops when you swallow.

0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:44.719
<v Speaker 8>Stop your food going up your nose.

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:48.719
<v Speaker 4>Basically, I mean, how's the food going to go defy

0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:50.000
<v Speaker 4>gravity and go up the back of there?

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Wouldn't it be to stop it going down the air?

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:56.080
<v Speaker 8>Have you never laughed enough that your water comes out

0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 8>your nose and things like that?

0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:58.560
<v Speaker 4>Walking on this show.

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:06.920
<v Speaker 2>On an old shown.

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.920
<v Speaker 8>Your tonsils are just part of your lymphatic system, so

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:13.400
<v Speaker 8>you basically it's your body system that filters all, you know,

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 8>infections and all the stuff that you don't need. And

0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 8>it just the batually three sets of tonsles, but the

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 8>ones at the back of your throat are just a

0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:25.479
<v Speaker 8>sort of like a holding area I guess for the

0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:27.480
<v Speaker 8>infection where then it's attacked.

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:31.600
<v Speaker 2>Outside that the balances go, whoa are you in? Bacteria

0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:33.280
<v Speaker 2>ain't coming on the list.

0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 8>And then you're true if it's the bacterial one, that's

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.240
<v Speaker 8>why you get passed on your tonsls, where the ones

0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.479
<v Speaker 8>where you don't get passed on your tonsils is generally

0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.000
<v Speaker 8>a virus, so you don't need anybody.

0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.599
<v Speaker 2>She's got puss on her tonsils, and I just presume

0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:49.160
<v Speaker 2>that was university life after six weeks. I'm not worry

0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.720
<v Speaker 2>another world coming down for eighteen years keeping puss off

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:52.440
<v Speaker 2>them tonsils.

0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:57.480
<v Speaker 8>Well, some started university in America and got tonsil artists

0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.480
<v Speaker 8>about six times in a row. I don't want to

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 8>know why. I think a glandular f So.

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 7>So when you.

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 3>Don't have tonsils duly and you don't have that bouncer

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.680
<v Speaker 3>protecting from bad backcateria, you're just letting anybody into the bar.

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.640
<v Speaker 8>No, because you've got three sets, as I said. And also,

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 8>your lymphatic system is not just.

0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:21.920
<v Speaker 2>Your tonsils, Jack, It's so much more. The lymphatic drain

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:22.480
<v Speaker 2>is system.

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 8>You know, you know your lymphins. When you get a

0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:26.800
<v Speaker 8>virus or a cold.

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:28.120
<v Speaker 2>You set.

0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 4>So where are your other tonsils?

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:33.440
<v Speaker 8>So further down.

0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.240
<v Speaker 4>Like three sets of bouncers, Yeah, you only.

0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:42.159
<v Speaker 8>See what you can only see one set.

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:47.599
<v Speaker 2>That's like John Wick. You don't want to meet him. Guys,

0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:49.839
<v Speaker 2>we do a really good work for science here. First

0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:52.240
<v Speaker 2>I listened to Monash University's medical debarment.

0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 8>No no, no, no, that's a very rudimentary and that's

0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.440

<v Speaker 8>a lot about a little so.

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:02.520

0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 7>something out of a sex to me or anything.

0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Really, it's two for Tuesday. We call it this hospital

0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 2>pretty much.

0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:18.760
<v Speaker 6>But then, yeah, last year I had a sore throat

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:20.920
<v Speaker 6>and noticed a lump at the back of my throat,

0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:25.120
<v Speaker 6>went to the doctor, ended up in surgery and it

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:27.960
<v Speaker 6>was tonsal tissue. So my tonsils were trying to grow back.

0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:29.680
<v Speaker 2>They can grow back.

0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:37.040
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, apparently it's not that common, but yeah, they can

0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:37.600
<v Speaker 6>grow back.

0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Is it like when they chopped down a tree? Nor

0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:42.120
<v Speaker 2>would they coat the root? Don't they to stop it regrowing?

0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.080
<v Speaker 2>They obviously didn't coat it. What have you got to do?

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 6>I think they didn't dig far enough there. I don't know.

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, they're rushing to insist that.

0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:57.840
<v Speaker 6>Growing up, my grandmother always told us that hers grew back,

0:08:57.880 --> 0:08:59.120
<v Speaker 6>So I wonder if it's genetics.

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.040
<v Speaker 2>You've got those mutant jeans you hold from a whole

0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:04.319
<v Speaker 2>family of crobacus.

0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm actually rooting for them. I hope they do come there.

0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:10.680
<v Speaker 2>That's incredible, Alex, that's a great call. Thank you very much.

0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.240
<v Speaker 6>I'm sorry you have a good day well.

0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.559
