Pediatrics
Dr. Cason on May 10th 2008
I’m a pediatrician BUT unless you’ve signed in, waited in my small and cozy waiting room and then I’ve seen you face to face, examined your child and documented my advice to you, then we can safely assume that I’m not your child’s pediatrician.
All medical advice should be taken as a suggestion and you need to take your child to their doctor for a complete exam and formal recommendation.
Whew- having said that- Please feel free to look around.

Dr. Cason/Shiela, I’ve only posted a few times, so glad things are better with your son, somehow I had a feeling it would all turn out for the better, although one never knows… I have a medical question for your Medicine Mondays… my 2 year old son had a circumcsion at birth, it seems as though it were incomplete, his foreskin is mostly still intact, although “loose” I still have to retract and clean underneath, he absolutely hates it. With that being said, my middle son’s circ. was complete and perfect. I’ve had this on my mind since his birth, he had several resistent ear infections, so placing ear tubes at 9 months took priority. So, all along both of my pediatricians have said the same things, wait, it will get better, it would only be cosmetic, the risk outweighs the benefits– infection, sedation… So, what to do? My husband wants the extra foreskin removed, in my heart, I do, too , he will look “like” his brother, but medically speaking, it’s not necessary. Why now? Well, I don’t want to wait any longer, he’s already 2, potty training… and the 2 older ones are in school. So, feel free to shorten this, I’ve rambled on. My close friends say, do it, even my medical friends, they’ve had close friends who have regreted not doing it. Let me know what you think!
Thanks- Kelly R.
