He has till date performed over 500 liver transplantation surgeries of which 80 have been live donor liver transplantation surgeries. His first live donor liver transplantation surgery was done way back in 1993.

True, the liver can regenerate itself quickly.
But you still have only one.
So OP's story is not believeable for two reasons.
1- People have only one liver. Now imagine the malpractice lawsuit in not having that one explained by the doctor prior to a surgery.
2- He's a fudgepacker and has no girlfriend |
