What sort of 3rd world country is Georgia, USA that midwives perform circumcisions.
Aren't there actual doctors in that clinic?

In the process, the complaint says, the midwife “amputated the glans of DeJuan Williams’ penis by placing and using the Mogen Clamp in an attempt to perform a circumcision on the infant.”
A doctor at the clinic and another nurse midwife were called in and observed the injury.
According to court documents they permitted Stacie Willis and her baby to leave the clinic without sending the baby for an immediate consultation with a pediatric urologist along with the severed portion of the penis.So to add insult to injury they did not even get professional help after they have screwed up, simply sent the child home and hoped the parents will not notice.
“The weird thing about the case is that the doctors that cut off the tissue put it a saline solution and put it in the freezer. They never advised the mother or anyone else that they had this tissue available. It possibly could have been re-attached to the child if it had been done properly,” says Johnson.
Of course they are being sued -- rightly so, I think someone that stupid should loose their license and go to jail. But since this is America the manufacturer of the Mogan clamp used in the procedure is also being sued because they have failed to provide a warning that the device should not be used by morons.
Seriously, the person performing an operation wasn't even a doctor, yet it is somehow the manufacturer of the clamp who is being sued.
Perhaps a nurse should not have been doing a doctor's job.
There are thousands of procedures performed with the Mogen clamp every day without incident by actual surgeons and it is also used by some Mohels to perform religious circumcisions. It is not the fault of a piece of metal that the user does not even have elementary knowledge of the anatomy of the area, and can't figure out which parts should be cut off during a circumcision.
Neither is it the fault of the clamp manufacturer that the medical staff tried to cover up what they did instead of getting the patient help to repair the damage they have done.
Of course the real reason is that probably a big medical technology company has a lot more money than a nurse midwife thus it is easier for the lawyers to squeeze money out of them.
Remember the woman who sued McDonald's because she has managed to burn herself with the coffee purchased there?
