V P Chest Hospital

We are situated right within the Delhi University area. It’s an interesting place to be because of all the old trees and the students walking around with their bags. The building itself has that classic university look, a bit old-fashioned with thick walls that stay cold in the winter. Because we deal with chest issues, the waiting room is often full of people coughing, especially when the pollution in Delhi gets bad during the colder months. We have a lot of old filing cabinets that are overflowing with patient records from decades ago. It’s not the most modern-looking place, but the equipment we use for the lung tests is kept in good shape. The technicians are usually pretty quiet, just going about their work and helping people get through their breathing exercises. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to wait for the generator to kick in, which gives everyone a few minutes of quiet in the dark. The tea stall right outside the main gate is where most of the staff goes for a break, and you can usually find a few of us there around four o'clock. We get a lot of elderly patients who have been coming here since they were young, and they often tell stories about how the campus used to look. It’s a slow-paced kind of place compared to the big private hospitals, but we handle a lot of people every single day without much fuss or fanfare.
