Congratulations

The complete lack of any evidence of people happy or content with their childhood surgery is extremely disturbing. I hope that you manage to successfully pursue Dr Baskin over his claims on this, and the emotional state of contributors.

What status does this report have on a state or federal level? I guess that (like everyone else here) I'm hoping that it'll have a wide impact on future cases of proposed childhood surgery - if only because of the absence of positive testimony that it's revealed.

Unlike Baskin, I'd doubt that medical advances have reduced nerve damage (a recent surgery that I've been through tells me this). I'd guess that recent advances have been more focused on the best wording for pre-surgical caveats and disclaimers.

Where the US goes in terms of care issues, it's likely that the rest of the West will follow - I have no idea of the incidence of genital surgery here in Europe, but I hope that the medical profession here will take note.

all the best
