Doctors fight over Boy Surgen Controversy
A 15-year-old boy reportedly performed a caesarean birth operation on a woman in Tamil Nadu in order to create a world record, an incident which has shocked the country’s medical community. The boy, Dhileepan Raj, a class ten student, successfully performed the surgery at a clinic run by his doctor parents in central Manapparai city three months ago, but the matter was reported in Indian media only on Wednesday.
Boy’s father, Murugesan, who uses only one name, recorded the surgery to back the boy’s claim of a world record. But when he played a CD of the surgery at a meeting of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) in May, his colleagues expressed shock and outrage. When other doctors confronted him, Murugesan refused to accept that it was a violation of medical ethics.
I believe this case is more serious that the Budhia issue.
