No parent should fail to do so because such failure only encourages physicians to continue committing "penile torts." The safety of America's male infants is at stake unless parents call negligent doctors, hospitals and clinics to account.}} {{REF}} -->

As soon as the error was discovered, the doctor and nurses let the family know what had occurred. We also immediately implemented new processes to ensure this mistake will not occur again. The procedure itself was performed following appropriate surgical guidelines and the baby didn't have any complications. Nevertheless, we're all deeply sorry that this happened.<ref name="tasker2010" /></blockquote> Aronfeld stated in the video below that they are seeking damages in excess of $1 million. ==Video==<br><youtube>v=Iz3Qauhswi8</youtube><br>
