Steven Svoboda: “$5 Million Settlement in Circumcision Malpractice Case.”

Our thanks to Steven Svoboda for an email, which takes up the remainder of this blog piece:

“Hi MIke. A New Jersey hospital has settled a circumcision malpractice lawsuit for $5 million related to injuries inflicted on February 11, 2022. The offending resident doctor used a Mogen clamp, and because he amputated more of the penis than he intended to (approximately one third), the child’s parents were able to mount a successful complaint. The child “…was left with permanent scarring of part of the glans and a mild form of hypospadias.” For more details see:

We have added this case to our compilation of such settlements, which contains many similar heartbreaking stories:
