Stupid Day continues....

NEW DELHI - The 15-year-old son of two doctors performed a filmed Caesarean section birth under his parents’ watch in southern India in an apparent bid to gain a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest surgeon.
Instead, the boy’s father could be stripped of his licenses and may face criminal charges, officials said Thursday.
Dr. K. Murugesan showed a recording of his son performing a Caesarean section to an Indian Medical Association chapter in the southern state of Tamil Nadu last month, said Dr. Venkatesh Prasad, secretary of the association. The video showed Murugesan anesthetizing the patient.
“We were shocked to see the recording,” Prasad told The Associated Press, adding that the IMA told Murugesan that his act was an ethical and legal violation.
Murugesan owns and runs a maternity hospital in the city of Manaparai, Prasad said in a telephone interview from Manaparai. The family could not be immediately reached for comment.
Murugesan, who could possibly be prevented from practicing and face criminal charges for allowing his son to perform the operation, expressed no regret and accused the Manaparai medical association of being “jealous” of his son’s achievements, Prasad added.
“He said this was not the first surgery performed by his son and that he had been training him for the last three years,” said Prasad.
Murugesan told the medical association that he wanted to see his son’s name in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Prasad said that his team had reported the surgery to the state’s top medical association in state capital, Chennai.
State health secretary V.K. Subburaj told reporters Thursday that the government would investigate.
“We’ll get the report and then we’ll see whether there are any violations ... prima facie it looks like there is a big violation,” he said.
“We will definitely take action against the concerned medical officers.”

I"m glad the authorities are going to take legal action against this jackass. He doesn't deserve to have his medical license.

I’ve said it several times before but I’ll say it again. India sucks ass, it’s one of the most backwards nations out here, they won’t become a super power anytime soon.

If the women didn't die. What is wrong?

Well, the woman involved was evidently alright or it would have mention that she died or something.

I think that feat is amazing. I don't see what the big deal is.

Surgery is a scary prospect for anyone about to go under the knife. Just a regular doctor would damage my calm--knowing the surgion just recently had his balls drop would scare the living s**t out of me.

What’s wrong? Are you telling me that you’d have no problem with a underage and unlicensed doctor cutting you open?

Things of this nature should be done in international waters where there is no jurisdiction.
