Just like the original Doogie Howser landed Harold in Jail, the desi version managed to land his parents in Jail.

It was widely reported that Dr. K. Murugesan played a video clip to An Indian Medical Association chapter in Tamilnadu last week in an attempt to get into the Guinness Book of World Records.

His son was apparently performing a Caesarean birth. The sad part is that the baby was born with a lump on the spinal cord and it has been claimed that the defect had nothing do with the surgery itself.

The law might be slow to catchup, but now that it has, I hope this doc gets banned from practicing medicine for the rest of his life and they keep him behind bars for a few years.

Guinness Book have rightly distanced themselves

Amarilis Espinoza, a spokeswoman for Guinness World Records, said in an e-mail Guinness does not endorse such attempts because they encourage the practice of “bad medicine.”
