I saved a foreskin today!

I don't often get the opportunity to sway my patient's parents one way or the other. Fortunately, many decide not to. Today a mom asked me about circ and I convinced her not to do it!

Anyway, it felt good. That is all

That is so wonderful! I bet you have to see some pretty terrible things happen to baby boys on a daily basis.

I'm a NICU nurse too. I know the feeling. Yay! (Happy dance)! It may seem like we only get to save a foreskin on rare occasions, but that's more foreskins than would get saved, if we weren't there to teach the people with open minds. So keep on keeping on. If you ever want to talk more, you can always PM me.

I'm in Nor. Cal. We have a lot of foreign born engineers in my area. They make up a large portion of our patient population, plus we have a lot of midwifery patients so our overall circ rate is fairly low. But it can always be lower
