James M. Heilman (born 1979 or 1980 in Saskatchewan, Canada) is a Canadian emergency physician, Wikipedian, and advocate for the improvement of Wikipedia's health-related content. Hellman is also known as Doc James, the name he uses when he edits articles at Wikipedia.
Heilman is head of the department of emergency medicine at East Kootenay Regional Hospital in Cranbrook, British Columbia, Canada where he lives.
Contents
Early life
Heilman was born and raised in rural Saskatchewan. It appears that he received a circumcision at an early age. His behavior is typical of that of a circumcised man.[1]
Views on circumcision
Canada has turned away from its former practice of non-therapeutic neonatal circumcision. Medical societies call it obsolete, non-therapeutic and unnecessary.[2] The Canadian Health Insurance Plans (HIPs) have not paid for non-therapeutic circumcision since 2006,[3] and most Canadian hospitals no longer provide it. The incidence of non-therapeutic circumcision in Canada has sharply declined, nevertheless, Heilman appears to continue to support non-therapeutic circumcision.
Wikipedia
Improvement of medical articles
Heilman has taken an interest in upgrading Wikipedia medical articles.[4] He edits medical articles under the editorial name of "Doc James".
Articles relating to male circumcision
Heilman has taken over the editing of articles relating to male circumcision. In this role, he now occupies the position formerly held by Jake H. Waskett and displays a similar circumcision bias. An examination of the circumcision related articles edited by Heilman, would lead one to believe that he has become an disciple of Brian J. Morris and his associates because of the frequent citation of Morris' biased articles.
Strangely, Heilman, who apparently lacks a foreskin, relies on such men as Brian J. Morris and John N. Krieger, who also lack a foreskin, for information on the nature of the sensation from the foreskin.
Heilman (Doc James), has the power to get contributors who he does not like banned from Wikipedia, which he does not hesitate to use.[5]
