Regret doctor

Regret doctor is a term for describing physicians who used to circumcise boys, but have come to the conclusion that there is no medical indication for the amputation.

“	It is absolutely not medically necessary at all. I've performed circumcisions that I now profundly regret. Sometimes the babies are in so much pain some of them initially cry and then go quiet as they go into mental shock. Never again. – Eugene Gu, MD (Twitter)
