You're lucky they didn't amputate your leg.

As an uncircumcised dude, I would be really pissed if they mistakenly removed my foreskin. I love the fact that I'm intact.

I love my foreskin, and would not just easily get over it if I was the guy in the article.
Labia cutting is a thing in itself. Wikipedia has a whole page with pictures on it (spoiler alert).

The "designer vagina"! Yikes. I only found about it while reading the appalling practice of FGM (female genital mutilation) still routinely torturing women in some Middle Eastern/African countries.

How does this kind of body cutting even get started? I mean, I know about the Jewish tradition, but so many other cultures have some form of it, as mentioned earlier. Why would it even occur to any culture to start cutting off body parts? I don't get it.

It is most definitely not intact. He has lost an extremely sensitive part of his body that shields his ***** penis and it will have an effect not only on himself, but his partners.

Are you suggesting that care in VA hospitals is a high quality of care?

It is 'popular' among vets living in poverty [who have no other options].

My fiancé gets his care through the VA. I think the clinics are definitely lacking, and I don’t like that you can’t really choose your doctors. In fact at his clinic, you don’t even get a doctor you get a nurse practitioner. However the care he has had in the Philadelphia VA Hospital has been very good. And they have picked up all of his tabs when he’s had to get care and emergency situations outside of the VA, with no problems at all.

I actually think care in most aspects of the US healthcare system has declined a lot in recent years, I say that as someone who has worked in the US healthcare system for 24 years.
