~~~Hey there Ed,

Yes, it's a valuable tool. Nothing like getting beamed with a arm, foot, body while one is holding sharp impliments. Or head butted - that's always fun. Itty bitties can be blanket swaddled - it serves the purpose of confinment, comfort, and pain control - strangely enough - at least that's what studies say.

We have fairly strict policies regard the use of restraints in general. It did used to be common practice - in particular with the confused geriatric poluation, I don't see it as much anymore.

> Circumcision? Only a minority of boys get circumcised in the UK (thankfully!)

~~~Still very common practice here. Often one of the first questions you receive from parents - even if there are a million other pressing issues to address before that procedure is even considered. There has been a movement for education, but culturally, this has not really caught on - at least where I'm located it has not.

Hope you're doing well,
Glydin
