Careful Giving Birth In India.

Mike Finley

NEW DELHI (June 21) - 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.

"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, 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.

And Engineers and Doctors wonder why when they come to America we just don't let them just practice without first obtaining PROPER training from our schools!!!

Looks like three records:
1. World's youngest surgeon.
2. World's dumbest doctors.
3. World's dumbest parents.

Add world's most daring patient to that list.

I thought about that, but I was guessing the patient was "out" and wouldn't know, but if she was a willing participant we would have another record.

I especially liked the statement:
"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.

Good to see him assisting in his own prosecution, we need more of that, would save the taxpayers a fortune.
