Wow.....Smart kid, but who would trust a 15 year old with that?

He said this was not the first surgery performed by his son and that he had been training him for the last three years

I'm afraid to think how successful were his sons first operations - when he was twelve...

A scary thought

oh...I don't know...I started professionally tying fishing flies when I was 12, and by the time I was 15 I was better than 99% of the adults I knew...and I still work with my hands...I admit because of an occasional twitch I would make a terrible surgeon, but I can easily see how a 15yr old would be an excellent knife man as long as he knew the exact procedure...a brilliant talented youth would be a far better bet than a marginal old man with a lost of supposed experience..

Very stupid, but quite practically intelligent to be able to perform such a task successfully. Most kids wouldn't have a clue where to start, even if taught at such an age. The two name seeking "Doctors" should be punished for such negligent wrecklessness by the Medical Association.

There is no way I could do it at that age.

Very tough law compared to western law, but very deserving IMO.

A bit harsh but the parents should not have let a 15 year old do surgery
