Summary: Circumcision article
Rating: 1
Having recently assisted at the birth of my son and well informed in the most up-to-date research into the anatomy of the penis and the history and practice of circumcision in the U.S., I read with some surprise and no little chagrin the tendentious and rather uninformed presentation on the subject of circumcision. It is surprising that so little account is taken of penile anatomy or the rights of the subject (most often an infant) of this surgery. In the case of baby boys, no notice at all is taken of circumcision as the surgical removal of significant healthy genital tissue from healthy baby boys. A significant surgical procedure with no medical necessity…seems a bit odd to me. In any event, it certainly casts much doubt for me on the authority of the rest of the manual, which I surely hope stands on firmer scientific footing.
Summary: Excellent self-help and medical info large book
Rating: 5
I’ve read dozens of medical information books, this one is the best. 300 pages that cover most “conditions” with 1. Illustrations and information. 2. Self-Care 3. Medical care. I first saw it at my library and had to buy my own copy.
