Paging Doogie Howser...

Thu Jun 21, 10:45 AM ET

An India couple have been accused of trying to get their 15-year-son into the Guinness Book of World Records by allowing him to perform a caesarean operation, local newspapers reported on Thursday.

The parents, both doctors from the southern state of Tamil Nadu, screened a video recording of the operation on a 20-year-old woman to other doctors in the hope of attaining the record as the world's youngest surgeon, newspapers reported.

Family members said the boy was only helping out in the operation, handing his father medical instruments. Indian medical authorities are investigating the case and could revoke the couple's medical licenses.

i am a 51 year old male on dialysis for 3 years now. This is my second time. My brother donated a kidney to me about 13 years ago. I found this site on another site. I had to laugh when i saw what it was called. I hope to meet people from all over to talk about dialysis.

I read the Yahoo article on this.  The mother and father own some kind of birthing facility in India and say this was not the first surgical procedure the child has done. 

It's bad enough that the physician parent's would allow this, but who the hell is volunteering for a child to operate on them?  Crazy.
