Look, man, he's a doctor, not a rocket surgeon. We can't expect him to know these sorts of details.

“Thousands of american girls have had elective mastectomies as part of gender-transition treatment. Between 2016 and 2020, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association, 3,215 mastectomies, 405 genital surgeries and 350 other gender-related procedures were carried out on 12- to 18-year-olds of both sexes; the true number is sure to be higher”

Critics say the evidence for them is shoddy—and predict a flood of medical-malpractice lawsuits.

Lawsuits have been filed by more than two dozen other detransitioners.

Out of 3,970 surgeries, 25 lawsuits or 0.6% of patients is some kind of flood.

I wonder how this lawsuit rate compares to other medical procedures, particularly in the USA?

What you quoted there did not say that there has been a flood. It said that they predict a flood - in the future.

There probably won't be a "flood" considering the vast majority of those surgeries are not related to transitioning. 97% of chest reduction surgeries on teens between the ages of 12 and 18 were carried out on cisgender males.

Gender-affirming surgeries are more commonly performed on cisgender people regardless of age. Transitioning or a diagnosis of TGD accounts for a very, very small amount of those situations.

You can argue that you don't think teenagers should be having elective surgeries, if you want. But I assume that wouldn't satisfy the particular needs of those desperate to focus on transgender people.
