Gosh, sorry...

Here's why he does Circs...


Q: For what reasons do you perform circumcisions?
A: The most common reasons for which I perform circumcisions are:

· Cosmetic appearance
· Paraphimosis (inability to pull the retracted foreskin back over the glans)
· Balanitis and balanoposthitis (inflammation of glans and glans and foreskin)
· Frenulum breve (short frenulum which tears with intercourse)
· Diseases of the foreskin, including cancer
· Phimosis (tightness of foreskin)

He is a VERY Pro-circ urologist in Atlanta, Ga..:

[DocsNemesis]

Thank you! Someone is getting banned....

[KnitLady]

Interesting that you are asking about him. I ran across his "other" website just the other day.

http://www.circumcisioncenter.com/

I'm ashamed to share the city with him. At least he's circ'ing adults though...(I didn't see anything about infants on his page)

ETA: I'm confused...I just went to the site again and it shows some before and after pictures. Patient #9 restored and then got the restoration circ'd! WHY?!

[TigerTail]

Patients are encouraged to make suggestions and provide guidance to promote their greatest degree of satisfaction.

Does that help? Urp. I'm a libertarian with adult body-mod sympathies, but believe the medical community has a responsibility to police their members as well.

Do (for example) people bringing their child in for circumcision realize that they are likely going to share the waiting room with pedophiles who get off on the thought of violently, sexually assaulting boys? (It's a fetish that greatly coincides with & encompasses pedophilia, if not pedophilia itself.)

PS I wonder if the friendly Dr who assisted 'Jet' Duncan with bail (so he could go on to murder Shasta Groene's family, kidnap her, & videotape the slow torture murder of her brother, Dylan- possibly for profit) did a few circs on the side. One wonders. It's a savage world.

Circ fetishists do this. I have a picture somewhere that was labeled "7th circ". It looks like a blood stump of a mess.

[KnitLady]

Oh. Wow. I learn something new everyday!

TigerTail: I did read on his website that you have to be 18 or older, so no one is bringing children/babies to him.

[DocsNemesis]

Yes, its a circumfetish thing. Also, a very active member of the anti-RIC movement (who some feel is a nutball, : though I personally kind of like him, lol) went through restoration and then decided to be recirc'd. He is the first one to say that he is messed up in the head though .

[SleeplessMommy]

Do those patients know they are going to have images of their before and after genitalia spread all over the web?

And, there is an "anti-circ" message that can be derived from his web site... the optimal "post circ" cosmetic appearance is obtained by doing the procedure for an adult, not an infant.

Look at his rate schedule! He charges this much just to get an appointment... kind of like an expensive celebrity plastic surgeon.

As of January 3, 2006 the current fees are as follows:

First-time Circumcisions (foreskin can be retracted): There is a $1500 referral fee for all first-time circumcisions. This charge is to refer yourself to Dr. Cornell's practice and does not include any medical care. We will file your insurance for the circumcision procedure.You will be responsible for any amount not covered by your insurance company, up to $250. If you do not have insurance or do not wish to file insurance for this procedure, then the total cost is $1750.

First-time Circumcisions (non-retractile): There is a $2500 referral fee for all first-time circumcisions in which the patient has phimosis (inability to fully retract the foreskin). This charge is to refer yourself to Dr. Cornell's practice and does not include any medical care. We will file your insurance for the circumcision procedure. You will be responsible for any amount not covered by your insurance company, up to $500. If you do not have insurance or do not wish to file insurance for this procedure, then the total cost is $3000.

Circumcision Revisions: There is a $1750 referral fee for all revisions. As stated above, this charge is to refer yourself to Dr. Cornell's practice and does not include any medical care. We will file your insurance for the circumcision revision procedure.You will be responsible for any amount not covered by your insurance company, up to $250. If you do not have insurance or do not wish to file insurance for this procedure then the total cost is $2000.

[Nathan1097]

My goodness! It must be a terrible trouble to separate the foreskin of a non-retractable man! Look at the price difference. Yet, let's retract little boys....

[DocsNemesis]

Actually I thought it would be more....
I have to wonder if this is the same doc that did that other intactivists re-circ. I think I will ask him cause I cant remember the docs name.
I actually didnt ban him anyway, I just put him on moderated status.

I know the intactivist of which you speak, and yes, Dr. Cornell is the doctor who performed his second circumcision.

Being one to take the bull by the horns, I called him up and asked him why he got circ'd again after restoring.

I found his reasons to be perfectly logical and understandable from his perspective, but it is not my place to enumerate them.

[minkajane]

Did anyone else notice that in EVERY SINGLE ONE of the after pictures. the circ is so tight that the scrotal skin is drawn forward onto the shaft? You can see that it wasn't like that in the before pictures. Is that common with the sleeve method? Or is it just this guy's style to take off as much as possible?

[DocsNemesis]

BamaDude-We also know his full story, he emailed us with it and my dh and him talk quite often on the net and even on the phone occasionally I just couldnt remember what the docs name was.
Minkajane-It seems from what the other person we are talking about has said, that this doc is very careful to make sure that he is doing what the patient wants. I would imagine that the men asked for tight circumcisions like that.

[Past_VNE]

See? Another reason not to circ babies...Let them, as men, get the full breadth of their circ fetish by remembering ALL their circs, even the first one.


And, on another note, there is an extreme lack of professionalism, lack of quality in some examples, and lack of medical style to those before and after pictures on the circumcisioncenter site. It just looks like a bunch of photos that someone took to send to their girlfriend.

[Yaliina]

Huh- how interesting. After reading through this guy's website, it seems obvious he is simply doing cosmetic procedures. I'm cool with that. I think it's sad, because I'd like to see intact become the norm rather than circumcision, but if an adult wants to have a cosmetic procedure done- be it a tattoo, face-lift, boob job, or circ- who am I to argue? Of course, that doesn't mean I'm going to run out and have any of those procedures done to my baby. When he's 21, if he wants a tattoo or a circumcision, he can jolly well get a job & have it done.

[TigerTail]

A little OT, since I'm interested in the subject anyway, and used to be into the scene before it got all mainstream- Body Mods. How much is it ethical for a Dr to perform? Anything? Anything at all a person wants?

I'm not saying one hasn't a right to do it, but how much should the medical profession be expected to assist & legitimize something less cosmetic & more say, actually harmful? One might draw the line at amputations, one might say circs are right up there. Is anything still compatible with life a thumb's up?

Because most pro piercers (for an example) won't do something they consider harmful, say, like a corset piercing.

What IS the medical profession's responsibility to educate, inform, & refuse to perform harmful procedures- no matter who (or their parents *cough*) requests it?

I guess it's not really that OT.
