I try and be a glass half full kind of guy she did say that:

"they are teaching new obs that there is no medical reason to circ, so now they are squeamish. nice."

but then there was:

"i looked at the nurse and then at my fellow student who were just not getting it that this baby was being tortured."

And if the OB hates to do them then why do them? So you know *shrug* It is a shame that there is no way to contact this student and let her know there is a place like this it would be good for her and good for us.

ETA: If the blog records the referring URL, she knows how to check that, and enough of us click through perhaps she'll find us.

Wow, that made me feel sick. Poor boy babies in this country. I am so glad my baby is intact.

That's a great way to put it... (and a great reminder). Although there are many a doctor who just wants the $$ and deliberatly miseducates the parents...
