Tonsils, Adenoids, and Albert Kaiser

Alfred Yankauer M.D.1

Tonsils and adenoids, like the weather, provide such an inexhaustible fund of discussion that one wonders if they were not invented by doctors for this purpose. Dr. Haggerty's recent discussion in Pediatrics1 and his references to Dr. Albert D. Kaiser impel me to correct a statement which is historically incorrect and to draw attention to the achievements of a rather remarkable pediatrician. My information is based upon conversations with Dr. Kaiser in 1950-1952 when he had become Commissioner of Health in the city of Rochester, the culmination of a long and successful career as pediatric practitioner, medical educator, and researcher.
