→The UTI scare
Drs. Charles Ginsburg & George McCracken (1982) carried out a study of UTI in boys at [https://www.parklandhospital.com/ Parkland Hospital], a public hospital for indigent patients in Dallas, Texas. They reported that 95% of the boys in their study were not circumcised<ref name="ginsburg uti"/>, and this piqued the interest of US Army pediatrician [[Thomas E. Wiswell]].
In a determined search for an association between the presence of the foreskin and UTI, Wiswell ''et al '' (1985) retrospectively examined charts of a number of boys born at U.S. military hospitals.<ref>{{REFjournal
