Today was my last day of OB/GYN. It was great for the most part. However, I was traumatized from watching my first circumcision. It was horrible! I felt so bad for the little guy. Who would want their two day old baby strapped to the table and screaming like that? So sad!!
Tell me about it!! Not to mention, the child will be urinating on that open wound until it heals. What a welcome to the world.
ReplyDeleteI am planning on using my conscientious objection rights to refuse to perform any genital mutilations, male or female. If someone needs a medically indicated circumcision, they can go to a pediatric urologist.
Don't worry, I will refer out politely, since it seems to be within the realm of the normal standard of care. But still....*shudder*.
