Because if you botch it he could bleed to death, that’s why.
A four-week-old boy “bled to death” after a home circumcision carried out by a nurse, a court has heard.
Goodluck Caubergs died the day after nurse Grace Adeleye carried out the procedure without anaesthetic, Manchester Crown Court was told.
…
Mrs Adeleye, of Sarnia Court, Salford, was paid £100 to do the operation as Goodluck’s parents did not know the procedure was available on the NHS.
It is alleged the defendant, who is also a midwife, left a “ragged” wound that bled and her post-operative care was inadequate.
All that for a procedure that isn’t medically necessary in the first place.
