Description:

Roald Dahl, had to go to the doctor for an issue with his nose and mouth after it was thought he had adenoids. In boiling water, the doctor put a metal rod. Then the doctor then pulled out the metal rod which turned out to have a blade attached to it. The doctor made Roald open his mouth and cut out the flesh from Roald's mouth. These ended up being his agnoids. The doctor made him spit every last bit of the adenoids. He then went home and rested. unfortunately, in the 1920s they didn't use any anesthetic so that would have hurt a heap but it was normal so it wasn't a fuss.
