===Circumcised medical doctors===
Most [[Circumcised doctors| male doctors in the United States are men who were circumcised as infants]]. Consequently, despite being medical doctors they have no personal knowledge of the human foreskin. These men share the trauma and attitudes of other circumcised men and are just as likely to want to repeat the trauma. LeBourdais (1995) pointed out that the "age of the attending physician, sex and circumcision status" were important factors in determining the likelyhood likelihood of a baby boy being circumcised.<ref>{{REFjournal

Goldman also points out that, in making the decision regarding circumcision, parents tend to follow the perceived norm.
