JACOB'S STORY.

 

Jacob's Story - Infection Results from Circumcision Complication.

 
I am responding to JF's request for information on the 'pros and cons' of circumcision. 

My son, Jacob, was born normal and healthy at Providence Hospital in Anchorage Alaska in 1986, he was routinely circumcised on his second day of life.

A few days later, we brought Jacob back to the hospital because an infection had developed at the circumcision site.

A decision was made by his pediatrician to hospitalize him and administer antibotics.

The next morning, he began to have seizures that went untreated.

Twenty-six hours after entering the hospital, he stopped breathing during a massive seizure.

As a result my son suffered profound brain damage.

Today Jacob is almost ten years old, he requires 24 hour a day care as he will for the rest of his life.

The cover-up from this circumcision-related tragedy started almost immediately, Jacob's incriminating medical records were "lost".

Jacob's nurses do not "remember" him.

 WE DID NOT EVEN MEET his circumciser before he performed the surgery on our son.
