Dr. Blumenthal's medical specialty (Ob/Gyn{{OBGYN}}) is in the care of female patients. [[Circumcision]] of a male patient is outside of his practice specialty. The Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) (2010) states very clearly:
<blockquote>
After reviewing the currently available evidence, the [[RACP]] believes that the frequency of diseases modifiable by circumcision, the level of protection offered by circumcision and the [[complication]] rates of circumcision do not warrant routine infant circumcision in [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]].<ref name="racp2010">{{REFdocument
