Baby bled to death after circumcision, inquest told

So many people are reading this and asking, what are the real odds that a child will bleed to death from a circumcision? Well I don't know what the odds are but there has to be some risk as with any surgery that can be a risk. Hemorrage, infection and wound healing problems are pretty much risk with ANY kind of surgical procedure. Why would you put this kind of risk on your baby for something that is COSMETIC is beyond me..........

Windsor A nine-week-old baby boy bled to death hours after being
circumcised, an inquest was told. Celian Noumbiwe was operated on in 2007 at a doctor’s surgery in Reading but later his parents opened his nappy and found a “huge amount” of blood.

Recording a narrative verdict, the Berkshire Coroner
criticised the lack of advice given to the couple on
postoperative care, noting that the emergency number given to them did not work. After the surgery, Carole Youmby and her partner, Monthe Bautrel, originally from France, were encouraged to leave the surgery with the baby within ten minutes when he should have been observed for longer, the court was told. Ms Youmby said that she had been told that the child’s nappy should not be changed for four hours. After calling the emergency number several times, the couple decided to call their GP in the morning. The next day, February 22, 2007, the child was taken from his home in Slough to the nearby Wexham Park Hospital where he died in his mother’s arms.
