SINGAPORE, July 8 — Fifty grueling hours into an unprecedented operation to separate adult twins conjoined at the head, Dr. Keith Goh’s heart sank. He was working furiously Tuesday to save Laleh Bijani, who began bleeding profusely the moment surgeons made the final cut to separate her from her sister, Ladan.
Unfortunately, both girls died. It most likely was a horrid experience for all involved.
But the commentary from this Dr Keith Goh, lead neurosurgeon on the case, is bizarre, IMO.
Having been around far too many neurosurgeons in my career, this is just disgusting.

“I was very saddened,†said Goh, the lead surgeon. “I saw them struggling - of course at the same time we were struggling, too.â€
“At least we helped them achieve their dream of being separated,†Goh said
Goh said he had tried to talk the twins out of it but couldn’t.
