Hospital denies circumcision caused death
by Hugh Young
UC Davis Children's Hospital has posted on
its Facebook page:
The comments being posted regarding a patient who
allegedly died because of circumcision at UC Davis are entirely false
and misleading. The patient was not circumcised at UC Davis and the
cause of the patient’s death was not circumcision, nor was it hemophilia
or a clotting disorder. UC Davis did all it could to save the patient’s
life, and we are deeply sorry for this family’s loss. UC Davis has a
deep respect for the privacy of its patients and does not use patient
names in social media without their express consent and does not permit
posting of patient names by third parties.
The baby was circumcised at Lodi, two days before he died. The
coronor's report into his death has not yet been released. The hospital
is pre-empting the court in determining the cause of death.
