My OB Said What

I am a fan of the website myobsaidwhat.com and recently submitted to them something an obstetrician had said to me while performing a circumcision.


I submitted this because I have residual grief over it many years later. I feel guilty I never said anything to anyone, I feel humiliated for the baby and his family, I feel disgusted that this man continues to provide medical 'care' for women. I think about this moment often and all the things I would do differently now that I am older and more experienced. I feel this doctor was preying upon the fact that he knew my inexperience would prevent me from bringing him to justice. Because of this, I feel powerless when I remember. I wish I could go back in time, but I cannot. Posting has helped me come to some closure and give me an avenue to take some control of it back.
