Circumcised doctors are male doctors who were circumcised as infants, so they lack any personal knowledge and experience of a normal male body part – the foreskin or a complete, functional penis.
Goldman (1999) and Boyle et al. report that circumcision is traumatic, so one may expect that circumcised doctors experienced trauma and that their behavior is impacted.[1] [2]
LeBourdais (1995) reports the circumcision status of the physician is a factor among others in determining if a baby is to be circumcised.[3]
Ronald Goldman (1999) reports circumcised doctors will write papers to support non-therapeutic circumcision: {{Citation
