A member asked:
What to do if i had a mri showing tonsils , i am being sent to neurosurgion for him to decide if i need surgery.?

Question not clear: Your question does not make sense. Tonsils are in your throat and help your body fight infection. A neurosurgeon deals with issues concerning your nervous system (brain, spinal cord, etc.). You would not see a neurosurgeon to treat your tonsils. Please review your question for accuracy so that your concerns can be properly addressed.
