These things drive me bonkers Medical Needs Vs Non Medical Need Comparisons

[MommytoB]

Now listen to my : rambles with alot of : : .


Here as I gotten older I realized a comparison of medical need vs non medical need to vs urgency non medical need here are some summarized stories that is to compare Medical Need that has end up to come to Urgent Medical Need . my gallbladder had to be severely damaged before it got removed now my thyroid is very damaged and has a undiagnosed mass - that had to show growth for the past 4 yrs before they decided to remove it and now i meet with the thyroid surgeon on tuesday to set up the surgery date !


But with boys who have foreskin they either have their foreskin removed with what we call a Non medical need or Non Urgency Need especially when it comes to doctors to rush a child into circumcision for a problem with his foreskin that could be treated alternative or that there was made to assume there was a problem

So answer me this why aren't foreskin spared to wait until they are fully damaged before removal when organs of the body part are not removed until they are really damaged ?

Because the foreskin is just a little extra hanging skin, don't ya know? :

I think before the foreskin will be taken seriously the doctors need to get some education and stop removing it for no good reason. Once doctors start to say that it has a very important functional purpose people will follow suite. Sad as it is way too many people have way too much trust in their doctor.

As Americans, we are conditioned to be afraid of the foreskin and to think of it as a "birth defect" and just disease ridden. Then there is the fact that not very many medical books even show a healthy foreskin. That's my idea anyway.
