Dr. Girija Sahoo, the Burns and Plastic surgeon of IGH was the main person who encouraged us while we decided to get my sister to IGH from a distance of nearly 600 KMs in Jagatsinhpur after she suffered the burn injuries.Not only did he treat her well, he also encouraged my aged sister to live life as it came. He infused enough confidence in her to make the most out of a poor and situation. In his pursuit to help her he visited her at our home and oversaw the dressings. here Dr. Girija is photographed in our garden.
