My posting at the Primary Health Centre (PHC) in this remote Rajasthani village felt like a dream come true, a chance to truly make a difference after years of medical school. As a fresh graduate, I arrived with a heart full of idealism, eager to serve a community often overlooked. This village, nestled amidst arid lands, is vibrant and resilient, but also deeply traditional, with its own unique rhythms and challenges. Every day brings a new learning curve, from treating snake bites to counseling new mothers, and often, it involves interacting with the local police, the ‘thana’ personnel. They are an inescapable part of our daily lives here.
The Khaki Uniform I Respect, But The Men Inside… It’s Complicated.
