My son was born 14 mo ago and because he was born in a Birth Center, he could not get circumcised at birth. Our hospital (Cambridge Hospital in MA) does not have a pediatric surgeon for this procedure so we were given a referral for a doctor at Mass General (Boston, MA). When I called Mass General to get a quote on the price, I got the following:
$23,000
(includes Facility, Physician, Anesthesia)This procedure is less than 30 minutes; the doctor himself even stated that this is one of the easiest procedures. I’ve researched prices for other countries and found a high of $1200.

The gardening season is winding down. It’s getting cold at night. The corn has all been harvested. The cukes are dying. Tomatoes are browning on the bottom.

A Tumblr dedicated to Wire inspiration posters. I swear, that show is so good, just the mention of it makes me want to watch all FOUR seasons again.
