GP accused of amputating baby’s penis in ritual circumcision fails to overturn emergency ban
Dr Hershel Goldman said he had performed more than 20,000 circumcisions without any complications.
A GP who allegedly amputated a newborn’s penis during a ritual circumcision remains banned from performing the procedure after a tribunal refused to stay conditions on his registration.
Two months ago, the Medical Board of Australia used its emergency powers to ban Dr Hershel Goldman from carrying out further circumcisions after receiving complaints that two infants had experienced serious complications.
