Dr Anthony Fauci had an operation today to remove a polyp on his vocal cord. He had general anesthesia and texted me after to let me know he was doing ok. Doctors have advised him to curtail his talking for a while to allow his vocal cords to recover.

5. Aw, I kinda liked his raspy, curmudeonly voice but I am glad he got that polyp removed.

Hope he heals well and is up and his usual bright self soon!

6. My dad had that and his voice got gravely like Dr. Fauci's.

It's from strain. Lot's of public speaking, or in my dad's case, having to talk over noise (we owned a pub).

My dad's was benign, I'm hoping the same for Dr. Fauci.
