I wish I had the courage in residency to say no. I finally did say no after finishing residency, and I will continue to fight this until all children are left whole.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-152955260192290179.post-29398804932662358582012-10-02T16:11:13.819-04:002012-10-02T16:11:13.819-04:00Unbelievable.

She said "They didn't even do a good job. They butchered him."<br /><br />I think a lot of parents don't realize that the most junior residents (and apparently medical students) are often the ones doing the circumcisions. Infant circumcision is their on-the-job training.<br /><br />I guess everybody has to learn someplace, but how did we ever get to the point where a baby's penis is the place? How did things ever get that crazy?kurt_tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-152955260192290179.post-46010865912274875772012-01-03T18:45:37.128-05:002012-01-03T18:45:37.128-05:00It's a shame he has made his blog private.

It horrifies me to think that hospital would throw any untrained doctor in a room and expect him to figure out how to do a circumcision. That resident should be barred from practicing medicine.Judithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-152955260192290179.post-1331728832082109982012-01-03T18:44:55.434-05:002012-01-03T18:44:55.434-05:00Watching this description makes me all the more th...Watching this description makes me all the more thankful that we left our son intact. I can't imagine why anyone would put their child through this useless procedure. I can assure you that if parents actually had to watch the number who choose to have them would definitely go down, quickly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-152955260192290179.post-30703788024295124462012-01-03T18:44:32.383-05:002012-01-03T18:44:32.383-05:00I am a family doctor and during my training I have...I am a family doctor and during my training I have refused to learn how to perform (participate in) abortions and circumcisions, in both medical school and residency. It is a little off the beaten path, but they will let you bypass those, as they are not lifesaving or essential to medical practice. Just wanted to say hello and keep up the good work - love the site and all the info in it :)Alinanoreply@blogger.com
