==Comment by Doctors Opposing Circumcision==
[[John DV. Geisheker]], JD, LL.M., the executive director of [[Doctors Opposing Circumcision]], said in a complaint filed with New York authorities, said:

*Even a large 8.8lb, 4-kilo, infant has only 12 oz (355ml) of TBV, total blood volume. This is basic paediatric haematology 101, not rocket science.
*Regular checks on a post-procedure patient are not optional even if it is nighttime and the patient needs rest. Checking on this child's C... wound would have been the routine work of seconds. A night janitor could have done it.
*This child is virtually guaranteed, — if he survives at all — to be profoundly retarded due to ischemia of the brain, a lack of oxygenated blood. The fact that his body starved his intestines to keep the heart and brain functioning suggests the dire nature of his situation. to be profoundly retarded due to ischemia of the brain, a lack of oxygenated blood.
