This is tragic negligence from both the ER, but also the parents that would circumcise a baby. I lament.

Indeed. Let the child decide for itself, when it's old enough to do so.

You could say the same about baptizing children.

I thought circumcision was banned in Canada. If not, it's high time to get rid of this barbarian practice. Circumcisions made sense thousand year ago when you are in a desert and can't shower daily

Something tells me that the parents should have done something to prevent blood loss themselves as well, instead of just blatant reliance on the system(the article doesn't appear to mention any steps she took besides returning to the hospital).

It seems like the "article" was compiled from the facts stated in the lawsuit. I don't think their suit would cover what actions they privately took in between hospital visits.
