Saran: In a devastating incident in Bihar’s Saran district, a 15-year-old boy named Krishna Kumar has died following gallbladder stone removal surgery performed by a self-styled 'doctor', Ajit Kumar Puri, who relied on YouTube videos for guidance.&nbsp;

The family was unaware of Puri's qualifications and later suspected him of being unqualified. "We think he was self-styled and fake," they said.&nbsp;

<h2>Shocking details of incident </h2>

According to a report by NDTV, Krishna Kumar was taken to Ganpati Hospital in Saran after experiencing severe vomiting. The so-called 'doctor,' Ajit Kumar Puri, claimed that an operation was necessary and proceeded with the surgery without obtaining consent from Krishna’s family.&nbsp;

According to Krishna’s grandfather, Prahlad Prasad Shaw, the boy seemed to improve after the vomiting stopped. However, Puri then sent Krishna’s father away and performed the surgery while relying on YouTube videos for guidance without telling the family.&nbsp;

When questioned about why they chose to take Krishna Kumar to the self-styled 'doctor' Ajit Kumar Puri despite concerns over his qualifications, the family said, “We just wanted the vomiting to stop. He conducted the operation without our consent.”

<h2>Tragic outcome</h2>

After the surgery, Krishna’s condition worsened, and he stopped breathing. Despite being briefly revived with CPR, he died while being rushed to a hospital in Patna. The 'doctor' and his team abandoned Krishna’s body at the hospital’s entrance and fled.&nbsp;

Bihar: 15-year-old dies after ‘fake doctor’ performs surgery using YouTube videos

A woman in China has alleged that a sham "tumour research institute" had duped her mother and her into paying over 200,000 yuan ($27,000) for treatments that involved bloodletting and even the application of cement to the skin. 
 
The woman, surnamed Wang, learned that her mother was suffering from late-stage cancer towards the end of 2021. In a weak moment, the duo decided to give traditional medicine a shot, and that's when they approached a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in Wuhan, situated in central China's Hubei province.

The practitioner surnamed Yu&nbsp;claimed he had specialised knowledge of cancer treatment, according to the South China Morning Post.

He convinced the mother-daughter duo with seemingly credible patent documents and awards he had received for his treatments in the past.

Wang's mother's first round of treatment started with her purchasing a batch of liquid medication for 20,000 yuan ($2,752), which Yu assured her was a simple oral remedy.

Wang and her mother made several trips to the clinic over the following year, spending huge amounts on travel from their already dwindling resources.

<h2>And the bizarre treatment began.</h2>

The in-person treatment started with the practitioner subjecting Wang's mother to injections to make her lose blood from her body.

Next came the most baffling of all approaches. He advised Wang's mother to apply a mixture of cement and lime to the skin under her armpits, claiming it would dissolve the cancerous cells in the area.

Her skin began festering after two months of the bizarre treatment.

In April 2023, when the mother's condition worsened, local doctors told them that the cancer had started to spread to other organs of the body.

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo">Despite that, the practitioner stayed adamant on his line of treatment,&nbsp;convincing Wang and her mother to continue the&nbsp;treatment. The mother succumbed to cancer two months later.</div>

The practitioner later confessed that neither he nor his institute possessed any medical qualifications. "I am not practicing medicine. I just sold them health-enhancing products. My method of bloodletting is aimed at promoting good health; it is not acupuncture," Yu admitted to the South China Morning Post.

Furthermore, he said that the certificates and documents presented to Wang and her mother were all fabricated.
