medicalization of circumsision

hey all, i've been listening to a podcast recently all about the circumsicion in Jewish tradition and the recent episode is sooo interesting. it's all about the medicalization of circumsicion, how it went from an at home /religious practice to something that became the norm for American boys for a large number of years (apparently, this number is going down now). anyway the recent episode, with Elizabeth Reis, is super interesting to me becaue it details the relationship between religious practice and hospitalization of the ritual, detailing the way rabbis tried to understand this.

i'm curious for r/skeptic - how to navigate the relationship between ritual work and medical practices? just soo much to think about i have become obsesed w the topic lol. here's the full link https://open.spotify.com/episode/3AStQpuaUZXtd6Si2hjDV7?si=7dd339b4a5ee4c71
