Bruce Peter Reimer, later known as [[David Reimer]], was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on 22 August 1965. His penis was destroyed in an accident during medically-unnecessary, non-therapeutic [[circumcision]] by Dr. [[Jean-Marie Huot]].
Patel (1966) reported his findings on neonatal [[circumcision]] in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Patel reported a [[complication]] rate of 55 percent experienced in a series of 100 consecutive male infant circumcisions. He also reported on the incidence of circumcision at [http://www.kingstonhsc.ca/ Kingston General Hospital] in Kingston, Ontario. Patel reported an incidence of [[circumcision]] of 48 percent. This is for one hospital in Kingston, {{CAPTC|ON }} but has been widely and falsely cited as the rate for all Canada.<ref>{{REFjournal

[[EMLA]] was the least effective pain control. Dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB) was more effective, and ring block was the most effective. The authors reported "[w]ithout exception, newborns in this study who did not receive an analgesic suffered great distress during and following the circumcision, and they were exposed to unnecessary risk (from choking or apnea)." The authors were so alarmed that they terminated the no anesthesia arm of the study early.<ref name="lander1997" />
Taddio et al. (1997), working at the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, {{CAPTC|ON}}, concluded:

|Text=Although postsurgical central sensitisation (allodynia and hyperalgesia) can extend to sites of the body distal from the wound, suggesting a supraspinal effect, the long-term consequences of surgery done without anaesthesia are likely to include post-traumatic stress as well as pain. It is, therefore, possible that the greater vaccination response in the infants circumcised without anaesthesia may represent an <u>infant analogue of a post-traumatic stress disorder</u> triggered by a traumatic and painful event and re-experienced under similar circumstances of pain during vaccination.

* The [https://www.cpso.on.ca/ College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario] (2010) issued a special order to prohibit paediatrician [[Daniel Marshall]], who operated the Circumcision Centre in Hamilton, {{CAPTC|ON }} from examining or being alone with youths.
DeMaria et al. (2013) surveyed physicians in southwest Ontario who still perform circumcisions. They concluded from their survey:
