PADANG - With millions of children being circumcised every year in Indonesia, you might assume that sometimes things go wrong here. Yesterday it was Salman Alfarisi, aged 12, that was to be circumcised for religious reasons. This happened in a local healthcare facility in Air Dingin near the city of Padang on the island of Sumatra.
The child of Lisman Koto (30) dan Elva (28 - yes she was sixteen when she had her son, but that's not relevant here) was number four to be sunat that day. When he was 'processed', he started bleeding heavily from his penis. After he was checked, it was found out that the very tip of his penis was cut off completely. He is now undergoing medical treatment in a regional hospital and will later need plastic surgery to correct this single wrong.
The hospital declined tot give further information, stating that they will handle this case privately with the family. It is the second time this year that a similar medical mishap happens. The first one was a boy named Irfan, aged 10, which underwent a similar 'treatment' from a doctor. This incident also happened in the district of Padang. Maybe there are some overworked doctors at work?
