→Circumcision tragedy: Wikify.
}}</ref> the two boys were improperly and erroneously diagnosed with [[phimosis]] at the age of six months.
Although there were no ''valid'' medical indications for circumcision, the parents scheduled the twin boys for medically-unnecessary, non-therapeutic [[circumcision]] surgery by Dr. [[Jean-Marie Huot]], a general practitioner in Winnipeg.
Bruce was scheduled first. Dr. Huot bizarrely and inexplicably chose to conduct the [[circumcision]] with the use of an electrocautery device. The device burned Bruce's [[penis]] beyond repair.
Brian's circumcision was cancelled after Bruce's disaster. Brian's [[foreskin]] later spontaneously became retractable, illustrating the incorrectness of the [[phimosis]] diagnosis.

Bruce's parents, Janet and Ron Reimer, sought out what was thought to be the best advice on the care of a boy with no penis, so they consulted Dr. Money and the Johns Hopkins Gender Identity Clinic.
