I was pleased with the conclusion of the Glee episode where the lead singer Rachel lost her voice due to some tonsil infection. And just in character, the TV doctor recommended tonsilectomy, tonsil removal. Of course the Glee character Rachel did not want any tonsilectomy as that could probably change / damage her singing voice.
It was awful to see the Rachel character come to school eating a junk food breakfast of cerial and milk… definitely a recipe for losing one’s voice that causes inflammation and mucus formation.
Luckily at the end of the show, Rachel meets the paralyzed guest character and tells him her infection had gone away via anti-biotics, herbs and rest. And she got to sing the duet song titled “One”.
See? It’s all a matter of priority. If singing is your life, then you do what it takes to avoid surgery, avoid tonsilectomy, even the writers of a television show know that.
In contrast, the Glee script killed the hopes of the kid on a wheel chair with the guidance counselor telling him to stop dreaming that he could walk again with the “new” research. Isn’t this where stem cells come in and save the day?
It’s been a Glee ful weekend and we finished watching episodes 14 to 22 of Glee. Nice songs.
