Parents face so many difficult decisions when it comes to having a child: decisions about nursing, sleep patterns, discipline, teaching methods and, in the case of boys, whether or not to circumcise. In addition to being the most common surgery for males in the U.S., circumcision has been practiced in various cultures for centuries. Yet when it comes to the health and best interest of your newborn, is circumcision the way to go?

Kitchen Heat - Newton's lost equation?
Dr. Schoen calls himself: "America's #1 Expert on Circumcision" on the title of his book. As such, and because of his "expert" status in writing this forum, he should clarify himself at least on his 0.2%-0.4% complication rate compared to just the 4% complication rate in hospitals discussed in the text by Schwartz and Cheny, "Pediatric Primary Care." I bought my copy at the UC San Francisco Medical School's bookstore. It must be on a bookshelf in his department because he is a professor there. At least Jake and Dr. Morris have the testicular fortitude to defended themselves and attempt to clarify.
It has been rumored that Dr. Schoen found Newton's lost equation.
