Most of the accounts--no, make that all of the accounts--that I've read of men who have had to be circumcised for medical reasons in adulthood conclude that there was no reduction in sexual pleasure after the circumcision.
Still, the negligence of performing such an operation when it was not intended is inexcusable.
Almost 50 years ago I was in the hospital for 3 days for what today would be minor surgery. It was back in the day where there were usually two patients per room. The man in the other bed was supposed to have his leg amputated due to diabetes. They amputated the wrong leg.
There were a couple of similar incidents here in the United States maybe twenty years ago, and people were (rightly) horrified. It subsequently developed that it was hard for the doctor to tell the difference because both lower extremities were in very bad shape because of the diabetes. No excuse, but not as unimaginable as was originally thought.

For a long time, elementary precautions were not taken in hospitals against these kinds of screw ups. Elementary precautions were things like writing on the leg that you intended to operate on or amputate. Or paint the leg a certain color. This kind of a thing was just waiting to happen. Now, they are more cautious, but only because of our liability system.
Because in your land of make-believe, such things don't happen when private insurance is paying the bills? Are you really that naive? [rhetorical question]
PS - The VA and Medicare are both the very definitions of 'socialized medicine' and they are both very popular.
lol - you go first
And holding up VA healthcare as a model of excellence it beyond laughable.
