Interesting. Not sure exactly what I think of it (and the comments).
Um, am I supposed to feel some sympathy for this poor doctor who doesn't really seem to want to circumcise babies, or is at least a bit conflicted? Does he have a boat payment due? Put down the clamp, for crying out loud!

He said the last one he did (the one the post was about) was over a year ago.

I hadn't read the comments too thoroughly the first time through, because some of them were making me a little ill. Probably too much on top of the circ uproar on another board. And, frankly, on top of the "I don't need a nap anymore" decision at our house...

I posted a comment about how he left out the bit of tearing the foreskin from the glans. Also sent him towards Doctors Opposing Circumcision.
It made me want to cry. If he didn't want to do and didn't think it should be done why didn't he talk to the parents?

A few phrases rang out to me though
"excess skin"
" but not quite human-sounding yet."
" It is at once barbaric and civilized, bloody and clean."
""He's all bundled up and waiting for you.""

The above are all BS

The only truth: "white-coated monster"

Yep, waxing eloquently about the ultimate violation of a man's body. You can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig. What would these people be saying if he had been writing about a girl?
