'''James M. Heilman''' (born 1979 or 1980{{LifeData|birthplace=Saskatchewan|birthcountry=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 [https://www.interiorhealth.ca/locations/east-kootenay-regional-hospital East Kootenay Regional Hospital ] in Cranbrook, British Columbia, [[Canada]] where he lives.
==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.<ref>{{REFweb

==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.<ref name="lebourdais1995">{{REFjournal

The incidence of non-therapeutic circumcision in Canada has sharply declined, nevertheless, Heilman appears to continue to support non-therapeutic circumcision.
==Wikipedia==
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.
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.<ref>{{REFweb
