all three doctors she consulted before her daughter died are known for being unconventional, one by being a critic of male circumcision.
Yeah, that was a real example of "one of these things is not like the others...", wasn't it?
...Although there are people who are total wackos about being anti-circumcision (as opposed to being anti-circumcision for the many rational reasons) so maybe that's what the LA Times meant.
I remember finding a book about it that had been donated to the U of Iowa library. It was full of accounts of men who recovered memories of their circumcision during hypnosis, and discovered that it was the root of all of their psychological problems. And it had a gorgeous graph showing a perfect correlation between circumcision rates and rates of violent crime in the U.S., for a carefully selected window of ears.
If this doctor wrote that book, or something like that? Then the LA Times had a point. If not, I wonder how the hell that sentence got into the article.
