\n| “This is a different kind of currency much more valuable than money.” — Dr. Subodh Kumar Singh<\/em> | <\/span><\/p>\n

A lot of us associate plastic surgery with frivolous stories from the entertainment industry. At times, we find it in useful tales like that of nine year old burn victim Ragini.<\/p>\n

In a 5 minute instalment for National Geographic’s Short Film Showcase<\/a>, blue chalk<\/a> takes us to Varanasi, India where Dr. Subodh Kumar Singh, Director of GS Memorial Hospital <\/a>pours his heart out to give patients a chance to live a life the majority take for granted. Through GS Memorial Hospital’s treatment children are given a new lease on life vaulted from outcast to productive member of society for years to come!<\/p>\n

\"20150502<\/a>80% of the patients treated at GS Memorial Hospital are done so at no charge. “Working at this hospital I may not earn a lot of money. But — I earn a lot of love.” defends Dr. Singh.<\/p>\n

A reminder that, despite the inhumanity we hear about, there are people making a positive difference in this world and there is science being used as a force for good. Check out the video below.<\/p>\n
