Disgusting yet oddly captivating medical videos have become a phenomenon on YouTube. From pimple popping to cyst draining, earwax removal to back cracking, and even foot callus scraping, there seems to be an endless appetite for witnessing these procedures on video.
The removal of tonsil stones, which are small, pebble-like growths that can be extracted from the tonsils, is no exception. It’s akin to the satisfaction of popping a pimple, but in the depths of the throat. Watching these extractions unfold on video can be strangely gratifying.
