Apollo Cancer Hospital

You can find us down at the Padma Complex on Anna Salai in Nandanam. If you know Chennai, you know how that road gets. The traffic is a nightmare most days and the noise never really stops. We sit here at Apollo Cancer Hospital and listen to the horns outside. The complex is at number 320. It's an old building but it does the job for us. We don’t have any fancy posters about our spirit or whatever. We just handle the appointments and the files. People come in looking tired because of the heat and the bus ride. Nandanam is a busy place to be. We drink a lot of water to keep going through the shifts. The staff here at 320 Padma Complex knows everyone’s habits. We’ve got the regular patients who come in from all over the city. You see a lot of things working in a cancer hospital. It makes you think about life. But we don't dwell on it too much, we just keep moving. The filing system is a bit of a mess sometimes but we always find what we need eventually. Anna Salai is always changing, with new buildings going up, but the Padma Complex stays the same. We just provide a place for people to get their checkups and treatments. It’s a lot of waiting around for some. We try to keep the benches in decent shape for them. It's a local spot, really. Just people doing their jobs in a very crowded city. We're just here.
