That was absolutely awful! I couldn't even watch the whole thing! Brought tears to my eyes, that poor little boy. Doc says that he used something to take the edge off.....I HIGHLY doubt that! That boy was screaming horrendously. Why in the world they didn't use more anesthetic is beyond me.

I've watched it in person a couple of times, years ago, while in nursing school. My decision was made way back then.

A thread on the decision to circumsize is fine, but given the inappropriate video, this thread is closed as the topic is centered around the video and not the topic of whether or not to circumsize.
