7/17 conditions that traditionally preclude circumcision, like prematurity, buried penis, or an underlying cardiac condition. The point of the session is to explain which of these conditions aren't actually "Get Out of Circumstraint Free" cards after all. So when a boy manages...

9/17 heretofore considered too risky & aggressive. Why should just the healthy boys have their fundamental right to bodily integrity violated? At least, that's what we can expect if this session is anything like 2017's "Penile Anomalies."pic.twitter.com/t2DtULtAO0

10/17 Based on Dr Palmer's blatant plagiarism of Dr Gong's blurb (wonder what Dr Gong or whoever certified the CME for both sessions thinks about that), there seems to be little reason to expect a substantially different presentation. Indeed, the only significant blurb change...pic.twitter.com/85Ik1wnF3x

#i2 11/17 is a deletion. Clearly, Dr Palmer would rather not defend the proposition that "[r]ecent studies suggest there may be a medical benefit to neonatal circumcision."

14/17 discussion of "complications" will come in 3 parts: 1) Ridicule anyone who wants ethical rules applied to the foreskin in exactly the same way they are universally applied to all other anatomy (complete with puerile laughter from so-called "professionals" in the audience)

15/17 After all, it's crazy for anyone to get so worked up about #circumcision because the procedure is so minor & safe. 2) Unironically show several recent examples of boys with injuries like degloving & partial glans amputations caused by their #circumcisions (w/more laughter)

#i2 3) "Forget" to talk about death cases, or address how elective#circumcision could possibly be ethical if there is ANY risk of death.
