Summer season means vacation, beaches and relaxation for most of us.
For doctors however, summer time is tule time!!!
For the past few weeks, I have been going around the city jumping from one surgical mission to another, offering my services as a physician to all my politician friends who are sponsoring surgical missions left and right. Aside from my own projects, I have been traversing districts, and even cities, cutting and stitching ‘em tiny soldiers … turning them into generals! … At the rate I am going (or cutting!), I just might consider joining the “bandwagon” and run for Vice Mayor of Quezon City! (wahahahaha! NOT!)
But seriously, joining surgical missions is one of my favorite activities even when I was still a medical student. Since I learned how to circumcise, I make it a point to volunteer in all the missions that my sorority participated in. Now that I am a full fledged non-practicing physician (ha!) … I still make it my duty to participate in all these Tule projets, and even volunteer to help out my politician friends with their projects. This is more of Doray the physician in me than Doray the politician.
All the time and effort invested in helping out in missions is worth everything knowing that this minor procedure would mean a lot to a little boy’s life…
A calling … of turning little boys into men.

It seems to me instead of turning boys into men you are just turning a healthy, functioning organ into a mutilated, defected one. I don't understand why anyone involved in the healing/helping science of medicine would ever think this was something a parent should allow or that it's anything a physician should be proud of participating in.
Please use your knowledge for the greater good of mankind, and provide a NEEDED service to someone suffering. Leave little boys private parts alone.
