Vijaya Hospital

We have been here on the 3rd Blockmain Road in Doddabasti for quite a while now. Most people around here know where Vijaya Hospital is because of the big sign, though the paint is peeling a bit lately. It is a busy spot. There is always someone coming through the doors, whether it is for a small checkup or something more serious. Our staff members mostly live nearby, so they walk or take a scooter to get here in the morning. The lobby gets a bit crowded around ten o'clock when the first set of doctors arrive. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to wait for the generator to kick in, which makes a lot of noise but it gets the job done. We do not have fancy leather chairs or anything like that, just the basic stuff that works for the patients. The tea stall right outside is where most of us go when we get a ten-minute break. It is funny how everyone in Doddabasti seems to have a story about this place. Maybe they were born here or their uncle came here once for a broken arm. We just try to keep things moving and make sure the floors stay swept, even when it is raining and people track in mud from the main road. It isn't a perfect building, but it is ours and we know the neighbors pretty well by now.
