An Iatrogenic Epidemic
by George Denniston, M.D. - Circumcision in the United States is an epidemic caused by doctors, in
other words, an iatrogenic epidemic. Iatrogenic comes from the Greek and simply means "caused
by doctors." Many people think doctors use obscure words to try to avoid having other people
not know what is going on. I am inclined to concur with them.
