toluene12: Most likely a case of hemophiliac, a bleeding disorder that affects mainly the male gender. Parents first notice this bleeding problem after circumcision when the bleeding fails to stop despite conventional hemostatic methods.
It could also be a case of late heamorrhagic disease of the newborn. This is why this procedures are best done in designated centers and not at home.

In the UK most Nigerians patronise the Jewish or Rabbis as they are the most experience for this kind of procedure and they have all the proper tools to carry out the job without causing too much stress to the baby. In most cases there is little or no bleeding. They maybe more expensive put it is worth it, i don't think they cut any skin off, all they do is push the fore skin backwards.

Sad story. It was an error.

I don't think both sides wished for this to happen. God will comfort all parties. Amen

Cyberknight:

The foreskin isn't cut away with a knife or other implement, a ring is used to constrict it and it sloughs off. The baby suffers no pain. Very common procedure, so if you have a son, make sure that's how they circumcise him.
circumcision is a surgical procedure and whatever method used, the foreskin is excised. Since the male organ is innervated, removing the foreskin is painful. For adults the procedure is performed under general anesthesia, however for neonates topical anaethetic agents may be applied prior to the procedure. But this topical agents normally irritates a neonatal skin, thus its not encouraged. The baby feels the pain and he's irritated for a day or two otherwise he's is okay if properly done.
Non therapeutic circumcision is controversial in western nations and that may explain the difficulty in assessing a health facility to perform the procedure in the U.K.
However, circumcision has its benefits, it prevents UTI, reduces the risk of having STI includng HIV, and cancer of the penis.

Cyberknight: The most annoying thing about this story is that the nurse or whatever she claimed to be actually had to cut the foreskin. That's an old, outdated procedure. Nowadays there is a procedure that does not require cutting that is used to circumcise baby boys, been in use as far back as the 70s when I was born, so my mother says, and that's how my son was circumcised.
Even me. My own was done at UCH Ibadan. The device was fixed on d cap and after a week the fore skin fell off.
Re: Four-Week-Old Baby Bled To Death After Botched Circumcision by sofadj(m): 8:42pm On Nov 28, 2012
Its quite funny, here in Nigeria circumcision is like pure water...almost about 10 done daily in an average Urology theatre session..I believe the child would most likely have a bleeding problem to have bled so much. You don't have any reason to fear, this is like the first timme I would hear someone die frm circumcision

We are all blaming the nurse only, what about the parents? The story says the baby died a day after the circumcision not during or immediately after so why did the parents not rush the baby to the emergency room buit rather left him to bleed to death?

The nurse is the main culprit. People need to learn to take responsibility for their actions. This is the nurse's error.

Hi @ bushman there is no need to worry as long as you do not cut corners, get it done by the Jewish who are experts in this field, you can either take your son to them or they can pay you a home visit for a premium. They are licensed and they have been doing this for centuries. Since you live in London the closest to you will be in Finsbury park or Golders green and the environs. Certain things happen in life, doesnt mean we should completely give up our beliefs, it just makes us more aware and to take precautions. GOOD LUCK

Very sad story indeed. As far as am concern male circumcision is not a common procedure on the NHS,
unless in cases of rare medical conditions.
And it is mostly carried out by local Jewish/Islamic doctors, they are very good at it.
The parents would have seek advise first, before allowing their child to be circumcised by a nurse.
Funny enough they all collect the same amount, so am wondering why they had to use a nurse, instead of Jewish/Islamic doctors.

If you live in London, i have contacts of some very good Jewish and Islamic doctors who are professionals.
Let me know if you are interested, will give you their contact. If you should wait for him to get older,
it is going to be more painful and stressful for him, so the earlier you may want to do it, the better for him.
cheers.

@ bushman you didnt give much details earlier based on on this new info i would say forget about it, it is not the end of the world if you dont get it done and it is much better to save your marriage. Goodluck and move on.

every endeavour in this life is a risk. Even life itself is a risk. Your wife had to pass to near death to give birth to the same baby,they are all risky. Please don'k 'chicken out' 'cause of this singular incident. If you read the previous posts you undertand that its possible this kid has an illness possibly a bleeding disorder. The precaution you should undertake is to be sure your kid doesnt have such before going for the circumcision. So please go ahead with what you believe in.
