Dr Sitanath De, a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, could have earned crores. But his early childhood experiences of assisting his doctor uncle in their native Jhargram lured him back.
In 1971, when he realised that he was meant to serve the ill in a rural area, he moved back from England and rented an abandoned bungalow which was to later become a nursing clinic. There was no X-ray, no ECG machine but Dr De never felt that things were too difficult. During his stint in the UK, he had learnt ways to operate with minimal equipment. . .
