Removal of tonsils was fairly standard in the 1950s and 60s and usually occurred prior to starting school. One could look out the Hale Hospital windows and watch the squirrels while eating ice cream during recuperation. Also attached to this paperwork was a check for $15 to Dr. Fullerton. My recollection is he may have served as the anesthesiologist. Pertinent details transcribed below.
