The 15-year-old son of two doctors performed a filmed Caesarean section birth under his parents' watch in southern India in an apparent attempt to gain a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest surgeon.The last thing a patient needs is a juvenile doctor with a disproportionate sense of his own smarts egged-on by his imbecile parents. And, what's with this Guinness nonsense? Isn't there better things to aspire to than a mention in a record book that panders to weird and crazy shit?
