Seriously disturbing.

It is disturbing, but no more so than the reality of circumcision in first world America. Nobody thinks twice about strapping down a helpless baby and doing an unnecessary and elective surgical procedure without the benefit of anesthetic.

In every circumcision I've witnessed the baby gives one or two cries and then stops as soon as a pacifier is given. With severe pain a baby refuses to take a pacifier and is inconsolable. Nor are babies strapped down for circumcisions. They may lie on a pillow.

This is inexcusably horrible, they say they have no money to anesthesia, if no conditions to general anesthesia, that's not excuse to why at least not use a oral anesthetic spray (of novocaine or similar)and some pacifier + analgesic medicine to let the kids less aware of it, with less pain, less distressed and without the problems of general anesthesia out of surgery live support room. Certainly at least for that if they were really interested can fight for some piety soul should provide some novocaine sprays and medicines. This is live butchery over a helpless child this is haurfull thing without any excuse just comparable to war time surgery. PLEASE STOP DOING THIS! If you have no ideal conditions that's not one excuse to not use some available conditions. You neither care in this conditions if kid accidentally close the mouth you can make him a live fretting wound... Please I hope they already not doing this this way, specially to helpless child! PLEASE HAVE SOME HEARTH-FEELINGS!!!
