But you don’t have an appendicitis diagnosis. 

Any surgeon willing to remove an appendix when the problem may lie elsewhere is probably not the sort of surgeon that you want to be going to. 

 If they think that kidney scones is another possibility, ate they not able to do a scan to find out?

Yes I had a full scan on everything else which all came back normal, including Kidneys but there was a note at the bottom to say can’t rule out kidney stones! I’ve had loads of scans on my kidneys always normal although they suspect I’ve passed a couple. 

Anyway. I’m just gonna go to Scotland 😂

I'd be astounded if any doctor would sanction the removal of an appendix "just in case"  to suit the travel convenience of a patient.

In that case prepare to be astounded if you take your next holiday in Villas Las Estrellas in the far south of Chile. The town boasts many tourist-friendly attractions including penguin colonies and ski and snowmobile excursions.

Most tourists, and all the residents, have chosen to have their appendix removed before travelling 'just in case'

I was referring to the UK and British doctors/surgeons.
