Dear Kathryn,
        In response to your comment about being surprised that the parents
leave while I do the circ in my office...I think I have only ever met one
woman in the last 9 years of practicing medicine who had wanted to be
present for her son's circ. I cannot even get them to listen to my
explanation of circ care...they usually point to the father, meaning it's
his job to clean the penis until it is healed. Perhaps its my practice
style..???
