A wrongful circumcision occurred at Miami in 2010. Wrongful circumcision is a circumcision performed without valid legal informed consent.[1]

Vera Delgado entered South Miami Hospital where she gave birth to a son, Mario Viera, on July 24, 2010. Non-therapeutic male circumcision was not a tradition in the Delgado family. Vera Delgado did not sign a circumcision consent form. Baby Mario had a birth related infection and was held in the intensive care unit of the hospital. Delgado entered her son's room on August 2, where she found a vial containing Tylenol. She soon learned that her son had been wrongfully circumcised and that the Tylenol was for pain relief. The circumcision was performed by Dr. Mary Jean Pazos.[2]

Delgado retained Spencer Aronfeld, attorney-at-law, who sued the hospital and doctor for damages.[3] [4] [5]
