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.â€

A doctor letting a non-doctor to operate on a patient? How stupid can you get? By the way does this Guiness Book of Records/Limca Book of Records pi$$ others too? I mean it is one thing to be selected for having walked across Niagara Falls on a rope for the most time, completely different to be selected for watching non-stop TV for 300 hours! xxx

Just a day before a 1.5 year old kid swam four feet, presumably another world record....His mommy was flashing all 32 droning how proud she was... Poor boy practiced two hour every day for three months.. I say it's child-abuse I am planning to give my son some training too he is 1 year old can swim one feet, adding three more feet should not be a problem I guess..:haha:

The parents are now denying it and saying people are just jealous.... The woman was related to them...hence they are worried she might not file a complaint. Such people should be behind bars for putting two lives in danger. They showed the picture of that stupid boy...suited booted with a stethescope around his neck smiling like some superstar...sick !
