Decluttering your body – Are some organs ‘useless’??

I am quite sure, the first person who got his organ removed, must have been like me. I have to tell you this:

• There was a time, when I was four years old (or so younger), when I didn’t like my nose. No, not that it was fat or thin or button-like… I have a perfectly well shaped and sized nose… It is just that, it always got in the middle. Especially, everytime I ran my hands over my face or when I tried to pull my shirt on.
• I didn’t like my hair in school. They were just a tangled mess and too dark for my face then.
• Then there was a time when we first got married and lived in a very cold place that I didn’t like going to the bathroom. What use is being married if your spouse can’t even go in your place?!

A 100 years ago, doctors were of the opinion that there were almost 200 organs in our body that were useless… And that we could perfectly live without them. Really, Yes.
Doctors are a crazy lot, I have come to realize lately. Why? Because one of them asked me to get my gall bladder removed. I have been having some trouble with it since October last year and had been on treatment. I am quite okay now, ever since I had Cuppycake, and there haven’t been anymore symptoms or proof that I need to remove it. I told him what I thought. He replied that I was worrying too much. ‘Relax, we remove 5-6 gall bladders everyday’ he said. ‘Besides, it won’t make any difference to your overall health’.
I have since asked several of my doctor friends, family and gone for second opinions. They all say the samething.
Don’t worry, you won’t miss it.
It’s quite common… My _________ doesn’t have it too or I don’t have it myself.

Why is it so common to remove organs these days? Are we falling sick too often? Are doctors looking for an easy way out?
Have you noticed? Removing a gall bladder, tonsils or appendix, you can always find that someone’s had something removed. I have even read of people (several of them, actually) having all three removed.

Did you know?

• We don’t really need our Tonsils… They just catch germs. If you remove them, other glands take over their job.
• We don’t need an appendix… It is a rudimentary organ that was supposed to digest grass.
• We don’t need the Thymus… It is only for babies before birth.
• We don’t need a uterus… Especially after you’re done having children.
• You don’t really need a gall bladder, it only aids in digestion by making bile juice. Your liver can take over.
• You don’t need your spleen after you’re grown up… Your blood cells can be made elsewhere.
• Most people only use 10 percent of their brain… Does that mean… We don’t need 90 percent of it?
• It’s a trend around these days… If you start balding… Shave off your hair. Smooth and shiny is cute and young.
• Wisdom has nothing to do with your wisdom teeth. You can get it removed.
• We can function on one kidney, one lung and no ovaries.

Oh… Don’t get your pancreas removed… We tried this with mice when I was in college… They got diabetes.

And … You need your heart. We all need our heart.

Oesophagus, intestines and bladder… Oh we need that too.

Is it like our houses? Everytime something goes a miss and things look like they aren’t working, we de-clutter. Is tht what doctors are doing too… decluttering bodies? Ha ha.

I have no idea what makes people (read Doctors) think that God created anything without reason. Medical science is always adavncing. What they thought didn’t work yesterday, they find it working today. There are new discoveries made all the time. I really don’t know whether I should be taking this as a laughing matter or seriously…

Are some organs really useless?
