This is the news story:
Trichy (Tamil Nadu): Fifteen-year-old Dhileepan Raj is a Class X student at Manapparai near Trichy in Tamil Nadu.
But he's not just another boy - he's performed a caesarean operation successfully, which has thrown the medical fraternity into a tizzy.
“I've seen the CD of the operation. I've asked for an explanation from the doctor. We have forwarded this matter to the Chennai office and they will take action by August,” said Vice President of Indian Medical Association in Tamil Nadu, Dr Maheshwaran.
Dhileepan's father, Dr Murugesan, allegedly showed a CD of the operation to doctors of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) and argued that his son had performed the surgery under his watchful eye.
He claimed his son had done this for the sake of a record but later he issued a statement saying that he had performed the operation while his son had watched out of curiosity.
"The doctor and his son performed the operation together. The operation is a success and both mother and child are healthy,” said the mother-in-law of the patient, Muthiamma.
Doctors, though, are angry and want stern action to be taken against Dhileepan's father and mother Gandhimathy, a gynaecologist, for violating not just the law but also the ethics of the profession.
The Indian Medical Association Secretary General SN Mishra, however, says that the IMA has no legal rights to take any action against the boy's father.
"As far we are concerned, the IMA has no legal rights to take action. But we find it objectionable, suprising and an condemning act. The law should take its course. The IMA doesn't approve such things," he said.
