Jay Buenafe: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

 

'''Jay Buenafe''' is a family physician who has recently expanded his practice to include infant circumcision under the tutelage of [[Neil Pollock]].<ref>{{REFweb

He has a website<ref>{{REFweb

}}</ref> that is nearly identical to that of [[Neil Pollock]] and [[Pierre Crouse]] on which he offers the same sales pitches and misinformation to parents, and he has announced in at least one magazine for parents.<ref>{{REFnews

== Conflicts of interest==

=== Ethnic background ===

Jay Buenafe emmigrated to Canada from the Philippines,<ref>{{REFnews

}}</ref> where circumcision is considered a right of passage, and 80% of Filipino males are circumcised, according to the WHO.<ref>{{REFnews

  |quote=In the Philippines, non-religious circumcision is routine and is performed on more than 80 per cent of baby boys, the World Health Organization reports.

}}</ref> As a member of the Filipino community, Buenafe caters mainly to the Filipino community,<ref>{{REFnews

}}</ref> although he also extends his services to non-Filipinos.<ref>{{REFnews

=== Financial gain ===

As with [[Neil Pollock]], infant circumcision is Buenafe's main source of income.<ref>{{REFnews

}}</ref> Even before adopting the [[Mogen]] technique from [[Neil Pollock]] (Buenafe started using it in April, 2012.),<ref>{{REFnews

}}</ref> Buenafe had already been performing circumcisions for a number of years among the Canadian Filipino community,<ref>{{REFnews

}}</ref> as well as for parents of other religious and ethnic backgrounds.<ref>{{REFnews

}}</ref> Buenafe charges $299 per newborn circumcision.<ref>{{REFnews

== Buenafe's website identical to those of Pollock and Crouse ==

Buenafe's website is a near mirror-image of that of [[Neil Pollock]] and [[Pierre Crouse]]. Some of the diagram images he uses are exactly the same, and some of the sales points are repeated verbatim. Buenafe praises the [[Mogen]] technique which he coins as "The Pollock Technique"<ref>{{REFweb

}}</ref> and he advertises it as "innovative, virtually painless," and taking "under 30 seconds",<ref>{{REFweb

(An interesting note: As of April 2012, the Canadian Pediatric Society has not yet reviewed the so-called "Pollock" (AKA [[Mogen]]) method.<ref name="Sanders-2012">{{REFnews

Except for a few changes in wording, Buenafe's "Parents' Guide to Circumcision" page is nearly identical, to those of [[Neil Pollock]] and [[Pierre Crouse]], advertizing the [[Mogen]] technique as taking less than a  minute, and advertizing identical pain control methods of Tylenol, sugar, and a local anaesthetic injection.<ref name="Buenafe">{{REFweb

Pollock and Crouse's "Parents' Guide to Circumcision" pages can be viewed [http://www.pollockclinics.com/circumcision/circumcision-guide.html here] and [http://www.circumcisioncalgary.ca/more.htm here]. (Pages last viewed on June 16, 2012)

== Misleading Information ==

Like Neil Pollock and Pierre Crouse, the information that Buenafe dispenses is misleading, it conflicts with information provided on his own website, or it is simply not true.

=== "Virtually Painless" ===

Like Neil Pollock and Pierre Crouse, Buenafe promises the "Pollock Technique" (AKA the [[Mogen]] technique), along with his pain control methods to be "painless," affirming his customers with the techniques he uses.<ref>{{REFweb

}}</ref> As Pollock, Pierre Crouse, Buenafe announces that the pain control methods used are Tylenol, sugar, a topical cream, and a local anaesthetic injection.<ref name="Buenafe"/> The topical anaesthetic only serves to numb the area to lessen the pain of the injection, but studies have shown that a dorsal penile ring block is not always effective in stopping the pain of circumcision.<ref>{{REFjournal

Like, Pollock and Crouse, Buenafe peddles the [[Mogen]] technique (as the "Pollock technique on his website), but what he may not tell parents is that the Mogen clamp has been notorious for glans amputations, even among experienced conductors of circumcision.<ref>{{REFjournal

== Buenafe admits CPS does not approve ==

 

Buenafe admits that the Canadian Pediatric Society does not endorse infant circumcision, as they ascertain that there is not enough evidence to do so.<ref>{{REFnews
