Chellam Skin Clinic

Down here on Bajanai Koil Street in Choolaimedu, the clinic stays quite active most days. It is tucked into Gill Nagar, which is a busy little pocket of the city. A lot of people come in with skin problems they want looked at. The street outside can get a bit loud with the traffic and the shops nearby, but once you step inside, it is just a normal clinic setting. We have been at this 72/80 spot for a bit now. It’s not a huge place, just a few rooms where we see everyone who stops by. While some people travel from across Choolaimedu, others just walk over from the next street. There is always someone sitting in the chairs waiting their turn. The staff usually knows who is coming in next because we see the same faces quite often. We try to keep the place tidy, though it gets a bit messy when we have a lot of paperwork piled up. It is a local spot for people who need their skin checked out without any fuss. The lighting is bright and we have all the usual tools you’d expect. Nothing too complicated about how we run things here. Starting in the morning, we just open the doors and see the folks who need us. It feels like a part of the community, being right here among the houses and the temples. We stay busy through the day until the last patient goes home.
