I think the issue must have been with the failure to reattach, rather than the initial mistake? Usually, you shouldn't be able to recover for an error - you should only be able to recover for an error that no qualified doctor would make. So it's not even the "cutting off" that is the legally-defined fault - it's the failure to do anything to remedy it.

That kid deserves more than that. He's going to need therapy for the rest of his life. ESPECIALLY when he's a teenager and a man. This is terrible.

Every day, thousands of American boys have part of their penis cut off during a circumcision.

So this is the understatement of the century:

"Four years ago, a boy had part of his penis cut off during a circumcision."

I'm so grateful whenever I read something like this that I did not have this procedure done on my son.

Oboau got there first, but every circumcision involves part of the penis being cut off.  The foreskin isn't just there to protect the glans.  The inner foreskin and frenulum are in fact way more sensitive than the glans.

The record payout for a botched circumcision is $22.8 million.  It was said at the time that the victim "will never be able to function sexually as a normal male and will require extensive reconstructive surgery and psychological counseling as well as lifelong urological care and treatment by infectious disease specialists."

Sure, cases like that are very rare, but why should they happen at all?  Some babies die from circumcision, so why are people still doing it?  If you look up the galleries of botched jobs, one thing that may surprise you is just how many jobs were botched cosmetically, rather than medically.  Skin tags and skin bridges and hair growing half way up the shaft are not normal, but would not be counted as medical complications.

"Some babies die from circumcision, so why are people still doing it?"

Well, yes. But people also die from childbirth, driving cars, eating unhealthy food, smooking, amusement park rides ...

except allie, thos things "benefit" you/give pleasure.

circumcision is just plain stupid.

to "a man: Fuck you.
