Teen surgeon flees as police plan to arrest him
Parents, both doctors, arrested after son allegedly performed C-section
NEW DELHI - A 15-year-old boy who allegedly delivered a baby by Caesarean section in an attempt to set a world record as the youngest surgeon apparently fled as police prepared to arrest him on Tuesday.
Raj Sekharan, superintendent of police in Tiruchirappalli district in southern Tamil Nadu state, said the boy had absconded and police were looking for him.
On Monday police arrested the parents of Dhileepan Raj, both doctors who supervised their son while he allegedly performed the Caesarean section. They were charged with cheating, forgery of records, endangering human life, concealing evidence and abetting a crime.
The two were jailed pending trial. If convicted, they could be sentenced to up to seven years each, Sekharan said.
The Tamil Nadu chapter of the Indian Medical Association said last week that Dr. K. Murugesan showed a video recording of his son performing a Caesarean birth.
The video allegedly showed Murugesan anesthetizing the patient before the boy started the operation in his father’s maternity hospital in Manaparai city, said Venkatesh Prasad, secretary of the medical association.
Murugesan told the association that he wanted to see his son’s name in the Guinness Book of World Records, Prasad said.
Amarilis Espinoza, a spokeswoman for Guinness World Records, said in an e-mail Guinness does not endorse such attempts because they encourage “bad medicine.”

Shot Where? By Who?
Headache mystery solved by a bullet
After fleeing ER, wife admitted to accidentally shooting husband
MIAMI - A Florida man awoke with a severe headache and asked his wife to drive him to a hospital, where doctors found a bullet lodged behind his right ear, sheriff’s deputies said.
“The nurse looked at him and said, ‘It appears that you’ve been shot,”’ the Fort Pierce Tribune quoted St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mascara as saying. “And he said, ‘No way.”’
The wife, April Moylan, fled the emergency room when the bullet was discovered but later told deputies she had accidentally shot her husband as he slept early on Tuesday. She was jailed on a weapons violation charge while deputies pursued additional charges.
The husband, 45-year-old Michael Moylan, woke up with a head pain so severe he suspected he was having an aneurysm and asked his wife to take him to the emergency room, deputies said.
They arrested the wife after obtaining a search warrant and finding a gun and bloody rags in the couple’s home near the Atlantic coastal town of Port St. Lucie. The husband was hospitalized in stable condition.

Family Vactaion
The following is a story, some names have been changed to protect the unknowing and to make a lame excuse for not blobbing in such a long time:
WOW! When school got out for the children on the 25th of May we hit the door runnin'. Last year we waited till the end of the summer to do our family vacation and the summer took forever. So Christie and I decided to go to California and play on the beach for a week at the beginning and see what happens. It was great. One day it was too cold at the beach so we got spontaneous and went down the road to a little place called Disneyland. The children did great, I was impressed.
When we got to Disneyland we did not have name tags, matching shirts, etc... remember spur of the moment thing here. My wife grabs a sharpie and starts putting our information right on the children's backs, it was great, I loved it.
Then when we returned from the California trip, my wife and 2 boys flew off to Kentucky, to see family for a week. We stayed with my wife's grandmother. This was my first time getting to see lightning bugs in action. It was great. I was also able to where my wife's family grew up. That was way cool.
