Male Circumcision | Circumcision during another s…

I read on an online forum the following from a French-speaking male:

In his childhood, he had been diagnosed with phimosis, which had not fully gone away despite his efforts to loosen his skin. However his parents did not take the decision to have him circumcised.

Then he had appendicitis, and when he woke up he realized he had bandages on his penis as well. His parents had decided to take the opportunity that he was anyway put to sleep to have him circumcised, without telling him in advance.

I have no means to check if his story is authentic. Anybody here experienced something similar?

I found this account of someone who was circumcised against his will at 20 years old in the Army. He was put under for a tonsillectomy, and woke up without a foreskin:

My experience turned me into an avid anti-circumcisionist, especially since I learned that other methods of therapy. exist for phimosis, etc. My foreskin was fully retractable, and it completely covered the glans with about 1/4" overhang when flaccid. When erect it would retreat behind the corona and leave a lot of play on the shaft with no discomfort whatever. I never felt embarrassed or ashamed about having my foreskin nor did I ever receive any flak from my friends. Even after I entered the Army, an occasional good-natured joke about my foreskin was all I ever heard. At age 20 I was relocated overseas and then my troubles began. I developed tonsillitis, and the medic advised tonsillectomy. I had no objection. I woke up with a sore throat and a sore penis. The medic was standing over me admiring his butchery and said, “While you were under I noticed you hadn't been circumcised, so I gave you a freebie.” I called him a son of a bitch and his reply was, “You ought to thank me. I've made a man out of you.”

It's from a book I scanned in called " Foreskin - A Closer Look" by Bud Berkeley: https://archive.org/details/foreskin-bud-berkeley/page/78/mode/2up

A good book. I've had a copy since many years and it was a real eye-opener. It made me aware of how many docs can be needless avid proselytizers for circumcision and moreover be sneaky about doing it to patients on the sly, without any consent beforehand. Which, if I am not all that mistaken, is quite illegal.

And yet many docs get away with it anyhow. If it were up to me, I would put such cases under sexual abuse legislation and see the docs end up as convicted/registered sex offenders.

I wonder what would happen if they tried such shenanigans with a woman's clitoris hood? Hell to pay I would hope?
