interesting article

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22227225-24331,00.html

I hope that link works. Article is a couple of months old, but I haven't seen it posted, just ran across it.

I don't want to start the whole circumcision debate, but this was very interesting. I agree with this 100%, but I the wonder what the criteria will be. If a doctor is worried about "infection" then would that be a possible UTI when the kid is 20, risk of HIV, or what? I wonder if it will really change their practice.

I also had to chuckle at the extra $$ going to "urgent elective procedures". I realize there are such things, I just keep picturing someone saying "but I need my face lift, NOW", lol.

All I have to say is :w00t:

I have a friend who is a family practice doc in Finland and she says that circ is illegal there if you are not Jewish, Muslim, or you do not have a medical need for it.

Food for thought. Off to the commune to eat my granola now. :)

I am right there with ya! I'll just have a big crunchy bowl myself!

I am all for not doing circ's in the hospital, esp in the first early days of life. But in a doctor's office, after a couple of weeks, well, different story. The vast majority of circ's are done this way where I practice anyway. IF I had it to do over again, I would not cave and circ my son just due to aesthetic reasons. It is a risky and painful surgery, after all. But that is just me. I am willing to allow others INFORMED choice.
