When my son was circumcised the pediatric urologist said if we had any concerns we could text a picture of it to him. I thought that sounded weird, but could see how this is totally legitimate doctor trying to save himself time and save ourselves an appointment, and money for an office visit.
- moccachino 9y agoI'm sorry for your son's loss :( Downvote all you want - Doing this to a child that can't defend itself is horrible, no matter how much you think it is OK and for how long it has been done. I speak from experience.
- djsumdog 9y agoI wish we'd see a reduction of male circumcision in the US, like it's been falling in other western countries. I agree it's a totally unnecessary procedure. People are annoyed when they equivocate it with female circumcision today, but there will come a time in the future when we'll look back at both forms and say to ourselves, "How did we ever think mutilating kids genitalia for non-medical reasons was ever okay?"
- lampenrad 9y agoGenital mutalation of a child is fine (assuming here it wasn‘t a medical necessity. Maybe it was in this case, hence why I didn‘t downvote), but taking a completely non-sexual photograph of a healing wound is considered weird. Sums up modern America pretty well.
