== Botched circumcision ==
In 2003 Pickett circumcised a one week old baby with a [[Mogen ]] clamp, amputating 85% of the [[glans]]. The boy will need yearly visits to a pediatric urologist and will continue to obtain psychiatric care to deal with the trauma of this incident and resultant surgeries. In addition, future surgery may be required as he grows older.
Pickett was not insured and was dismissed from the lawsuit. The lawsuit against Miltex Inc. and its parent company, Integra Life Sciences Holding Corp., for the case filed by Melanie Hall in February 2007, resulted in $4.6 million awarded to the family.<ref name="CBS Local"/>
