Circumcision is small, but don’t trust the ads

    Last week, I had a young man come to my clinic. He had a circumcision in a private specialized hospital in the city after listening to the advertisement. I gave him an examination and thought that he did not need to be hospitalized, as long as he used some oral medicine and topical medicine. But he was still not quite sure, he said that he had spent more than 10,000 yuan to do this operation outside, which surprised me, because in our hospital to do this small operation, even if there is an infection after the operation, including the cost of drugs will not exceed one thousand dollars. I later learned that the surgery fee for the surgery there was not much, but after the surgery the doctor asked him to infuse anti-inflammatory drugs every day for about ten days, and the daily cost of the drugs was about one thousand dollars, so it is no wonder that such a small surgery also cost more than ten thousand dollars.    Zheng Junhong, Department of Urology, Second Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College
