I almost cried when she sat down in shocking disappointment. the time when i had to tell a mother that we can’t fix her baby was the worst moment ever. But i have a younger sister so maybe it was easy for me with all the years i had to endure her torturous tantrums. The most precious part was dealing with the kids, I never knew i would be able to mange them so well. Along the observership i even treated, worked and learned to use a lot of new surgical and lab equipment. We performed procedures on children with cleft lip and cleft palate. I must have eaten a months worth of food in 5 days. I call it the Kolkata cuisine because it is a world encompassing cuisine.
I have one word for the trip.: Awe-fuckin-epic-mind-blowing-some.
My trip to calcutta was for the Indian Dental Association Conference where i was presenting and also for Operation Smile which a friend helped me observe for a couple of days. But that has nothing to do with the fact the Calcutta is the nicest city in the world. One may consider bengalis to be some of the most irritating bunch of people and i agree.
