DrJenGunter. You are a Dr. You are supposed to diagnose and indicate treatment based on medical fact, not what you “think.” You might block Twitter users for some time, but you can’t block the truth forever. Those informed can’t claim ignorance. What kind of Dr. are you? #i2

Yes, any comments made here by Dr. Jen can't be seen by me b/c she previously blocked me for daring to question her hypocritical support of non therapeutic infant circumcision. A clear indication of her inability to defend the practice, which is embraced by most US OB_GYN$$.

As a Dr, she has a duty to medical facts and to respond with such when asked. Reaping profit from performing non-medical surgery on healthy, non-consenting individuals constitutes medical fraud. In children, abuse. She’s either a Dr. or a snake oil salesman. Which is it?

Putting aside (for a moment) the ethical problems w/forcing unneeded amputative surgery on a child, it is beyond debate that doctors & hospitals make $ from circumcision. That is a major reason why it's the most commonly performed surgery in the US.http://www.latimes.com/business/lazarus/la-fi-lazarus-circumcision-cost-20160624-snap-story.html …

$100 for 10 minutes of work? Even at that rate, if a doctor averages 5 a week, that's $25k/year w/out breaking a sweat. If you think US doctors made circumcision the most common surgery in this country while not making $ from it, you're delusional.

Hahaha. It isn’t $100 for THE DOCTOR. It’s $100 for the HOSPITAL; so, the doctor, the OTHER doctor, the nurse, the OTHER nurse, the hospital itself for materials, the pharmacy...You seem to neglect the various parts of the exchange...

The hospital, the doctor, the "other" doctor, the nurse, the "other" nurse, the hospital, the gomco clamp manufacturer, the pharmacy. All part of the same for-profit system, all glad to be part of the billion-$ circumcision industry, all would be sorry to see it go.

Maybe give half a shit about FEMALE circumcision? Then I might find you credible.

I do. All opponents of MGM also oppose FGM. I've spent considerable time and effort trying to get anti-FGM activists to get political asylum in this country. What have you done to promote the anti-FGM cause?

No, you don’t. You picked a fight with some rando on the net; you tried to be an intellectual, and you failed to address the deeper issues. It’s ok. Not everyone can get it.
