There may have been a rush to get Cole [[circumcised]] and the additional charges obtained before Cole was discharged home.

The circumcision was performed on 14 April 2025 at about 11:00 PM by a nurse-practitioner on the night shift, who has not been identified.<ref>{{REFnews

==The response from the hospital management==

The management of the hospital, perhaps fearful of potential litigation, has refused comment, citing patient privacy as the reason.<ref name="bisram2025" />

==Comment by Doctors Opposing Circumcision==

[[John V. Geisheker]], JD, LL.M., the executive director of [[Doctors Opposing Circumcision]], said in a complaint filed with New York authorities, said:

*Even a large 8.8lb, 4-kilo, infant has only 12 oz (355ml) of TBV, total blood volume. This is basic paediatric haematology 101, not rocket science.

*For a newborn, loss of even 20%, 75ml, a couple ounces, can cause heart stoppage, but even that amount potentially causes brain and other damage meanwhile. The heart needs 'back pressure' stimulus to keep operating. This child lost like 50% of his TBV it is said.

*A bleeding child just slips away without a sound as if he is sleeping soundly, as bleeding to death is initially painless and he would not cry out to alert caretakers.

*Modern nappies are saturated with absorbent chemicals that mask and contain liquids, even blood. I've done live demos of that, — using bridge paint *Even a large 8.8lb, 4-kilo, infant has only 12 oz (355ml) of TBV, total blood volume. This is basic paediatric haematology 101, not rocket science.

*Regular checks on a post-procedure patient are not optional even if it is nighttime and the patient needs rest. Checking on this child's C... wound would have been the routine work of seconds. A night janitor could have done it.

*The hospital will blame the doctor, who will blame the night nurses. This is classic and very familiar to us at DOC.

But what amazes me (yuuucchh) is that the father here runs a pain clinic (!!!!!), and HIS father is an MD pain clinic expert. Do they not understand the concept of 'allostatic load,'?

A need for 24-hour nursing care indefinitely is a HUGE liability for decades.

Sounds callous and heartless, but those are the legal facts.)

DOC will soon be all over this case like white on rice, and happy to advise the plaintiffs' lawyers if they wish our input. (Although this case is what attys call a 'cash register' case, Kah-ching.) An atty would have to be remarkably stupid to lose it, and need only wait for the gears to grind away to earn the fees eventually (many millions).

This is N. American cultural cruelty and medical ruthlessness at its most obvious and unforgivable.
