Doctors are considered as the personification of God on earth. An incident that was reported from a flood-affected area in Malkangiri was testimony to it. 

Like any other day, the doctor, nurses and other staff were busy performing their usual duties at Kianga Primary Health Centre on Tuesday. The doctor got a message that some people at Kamarpali under Mathili block fell sick and were in urgent need of medical attention. 

Kamarpali area was marooned with floodwater and was cut off from the rest of the world. The doctor was caught in a dilemma. At one point, patients were waiting for him, and on the other hand; there could be danger to his life.
