This profile does not list the languages Dr Rajesh T R speaks. Other sheets in this set do, so the omission is the sheet’s rather than ours — ask us and we will check.
Published work and volumes
- Successfully performed more than 8,000 cardiac surgeries, per the profile
Where the sheet lists individual citations, we publish the figure it states rather than an edited selection of them.
What the profile does not settle. The sheet never names a present KIMS unit. Its professional-experience list runs Kauvery Hospital, Sparsh Hospitals and Narayana Hrudayalaya, and does not include KIMS. It also lists no languages spoken. The card therefore prints "Unit not named in the profile" rather than borrowing Bengaluru.
