I trust this doc, but the nonchalant attitude toward it is what gets me. Kind of an "ahh it's nothing" thing. Is it "nothing"?

Len,
The majority of risk is anesthesia related. Most ENT docs do hundreds of these and the procedure is pretty basic. So while the operator may feel/appear somewhat flippant about it, there is always a small chance something could happen. The vast majority are quick and work well. As always, YMMV.
