Norman J. Blumenthal
Dr. Norman J. Blumenthal from South Africa is an obstetrician and gynaecologist at the Sydney Adventist Hospital in Australia.[1] He is a colleague of Phillip M. Katelaris.
Profile
Dr Blumenthal was a Senior Registrar at Westmead Hospital for 2 years, and has subsequently been in private practice since 1984. He continues to be active in the training of registrars on the training scheme, and is active in Obstetrics. Dr Blumenthal is an endoscopic surgeon. He is a discipline leader in O&G at Notre Dame University and an O&G examiner for the Royal Australasian College.[1]
He focuses on baby circumcisions up to four weeks of age - an age at which there is almost never a medical indication for any surgical foreskin treatment. In fact, he appears to be performing purely prophylactic circumcisions, for which he cites reasons that have long since been scientifically refuted. He also completely trivializes the risks of circumcision.[2]
Dr. Blumenthal's medical specialty (Ob/Gyn) 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:
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.[3]
