Chennai surgeon performs 50 surgeries

Chennai surgeon performs 50 surgeries. I was just appalled by this story. Why would someone actually play with the lives of 50 people just to create a world record. A Hernia operation might not exactly be as complex as a bypass heart surgery, but isn't this doctor even a little responsible. Now I wonder how many of those 50 poor souls actually needed an operation and how many actually got it done successfully.
