[QUOTE="Andy, post: 370637, member: 5096"] I don't think this post is opened as a question of how we feel about cicumcision. It is a post regarding how that option was given. The parents were not even asked if they wanted it done or not. The hospital nurses must ALWAYS ask if the parents would like their son circumcised before leaving the hospital. I would think a letter is called for to charge nurse of the hospital. When the nurses don't even give the option to say "yes" or "no" my first impression is that they are trying to cut corners. They are too busy to add this one task to their overwhelming list of duties. Wonder how many baby boys are leaving that hospital without the option their parents would like to make? I am glad you found out somehow about this lack of choice. If I was a parent who wanted this done and NOONE ever told me it was not then I would be upset. I would also keep close attention to your hospital bill to be sure you are not charged with something that could be automatically placed on the bill just because you had a boy. You are right to be upset that the nurses did not inform you of your rights in this situation. However, be relieved that you did figure it out soon after the baby went home. Don't be too upset with Dad - new dad's don't always think of the medical details either. This is strictly the nurses' responsibility. [/QUOTE]
