The variable of the experiment was changed from surgery of removing tonsils and adenoids to using only antibiotics. The conclusion is that a minor surgery cannot be proven to work better than the medication itself. In the article " Ear- infection surgery has limits ", it was explained how the scientists determined that in " the first year those with removed adenoids and tonsils had about two-thirds as many ear infections as those getting the medication alone". In other words, this suggests that the surgery had an outcome of more infections, than the medication did. The article further suggested that in the second and third year this outcome has disappeared. But, nowhere in the article is mentioned that after these two groups are compared, the rates arebeing recorded in numbers. Furthermore, the rates and their comparison cannot be determined, since numbers are not included.In addition, Jack L. Paradise, a pediatrician at the children's Hospital in Pittsburgh depicted how these long term therapies have resulted in a small number of ear infections among children. Again there is not a particular number being specified as a proof of the investigation. All of these investigations, cannot lead up to a theory that the treatment of an ear-infection should be...
