THE HORRIFYING RAPE AND MURDER OF A TRAINEE DOCTOR AT RG KAR MEDICAL COLLEGE AND HOSPITAL NOT ONLY BROUGHT OUT THE LACK OF SAFETY BUT ALSO THE HORRIFYING WORK CONDITIONS THEY FACE.

DURING THIS TIME, I WAS TASKED WITH CHALLENGING DUTIES FOR A CONTINUOUS 156 HOURS. DESPITE THESE HARDSHIPS, THERE WERE ALSO MANY HAPPY AND MEMORABLE MOMENTS THROUGHOUT THAT YEAR.
