}}</ref> & [[Gregory J. Boyle|Boyle]] et al. (2002)<ref>{{BoyleGJ GoldmanR SvobodaJS FernandezE 2002}}</ref> report that [[circumcision ]] is traumatic, so one may expect that [[circumcised]] doctors experienced [[trauma]] and that their behavior is impacted.
* Stein et al. (1982) sent out questionnaires regarding [[circumcision ]] practice to medical doctors in San Diego, California. The questionnnaire included questions about personal [[circumcision ]] status. The authors reported:
<blockquote>
Older and [[circumcised]] physicians were more likely than either younger or uncircumcised physicians to maintain a positive attitude about routine neonatal circumcision. Although the number of female physicians in this study was limited, they were less likely than male physicians to favor circumcision.<ref name="stein1982">{{REFjournal

* [[Ronald Goldman|Goldman]] (1999) reported [[circumcised ]] doctors will write papers to support non-therapeutic circumcision:
<blockquote>
One reason that flawed studies are published is that science is affected by cultural values. A principal method of preserving cultural values is to disguise them as truths that are based on scientific research. This 'research' can then be used to support questionable and harmful cultural values such as circumcision. This explains the claimed medical 'benefits' of circumcision.<ref name="goldman1999"/></blockquote>
* [[George Hill|Hill]] (2012) wrote:
<blockquote>
Medical doctors in [[Australia]], [[Canada]], and the [[United States ]] practiced [[circumcision ]] in the twentieth century, so these nations have a heavy proportion of [[circumcised ]] men, some of whom become medical doctors. These [[circumcised ]] male doctors share the same [[bias]] in favor of male circumcision as do other circumcised males. Male doctors who were [[circumcised ]] as infants are more likely to recommend [[circumcision ]] of infants to parents.<ref>{{REFweb
