NYC Hospital Circumcision Nearly Kills Infant: Parents Allege Negligence and Demand Ban
Cole Groth, a newborn with a pre-existing heart condition, nearly bled to death following a circumcision at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital. His parents, Tim and Gabrielle Groth, allege the hospital failed to inform them of the elevated risks associated with the procedure for infants with congenital heart disease (CHD). Cole suffered significant organ damage and remains in critical condition, undergoing daily transfusions and multiple surgeries. The hospital cited patient privacy in refusing to comment on the incident.
