@Anatomage, your website demonstration video of the male reproductive system is missing the foreskin. If that's an inadvertent oversight, would you please confirm you will immediately correct it?
If a deliberate omission, please explain. #i2 #meded #medtwitter @DocOppCirc

It's bad enough that most north American doctors & nurses know absolutely zero about the functions & value of the foreskin. Here you are,
@anatomage perpetuating the ignorance by omission! That's pretty unforgivable. Did NOBODY say "hang on a minute, aren't we missing something?"1 reply 3 retweets 4 likes -

Will do. I really cannot believe it. It's like trying to learn internal organ anatomy and finding that their digital model had an appendectomy and donated a kidney too. How useless would that be?

I wouldn't call it useless. Some patients will present w/those conditions, and MDs should be trained on what that looks like & how to deal w/it. Interestingly, the website presents conditions like amputated legs - but calls them what they are.

A penis w/out a foreskin should be presented in the same way - the result either of an amputation (circumcision) or a birth defect (aposthia). A penis w/out a foreskin should NEVER be presented as "normal" to anyone.

And yes, like you, I can't quite believe it's 2018 and we STILL have to tell those responsible for #anatomy education not to cut out the #foreskin as if it's a Soviet politburo member fallen out of favor. It's simply unacceptable. #i2 #meded #bioethics #medtwitter #tweetiatrician
