Hindu Mission Hospital Chennai

We have been sitting here on GST Road for a long time now. If you know Tambaram, you know how the traffic gets right outside the Hindu Mission Hospital Chennai gates. Most mornings, I see the same tea sellers setting up while our staff starts trickling in. The building itself has seen better days, but it holds up well enough against the Chennai heat. People come in from all over the neighborhood, some walking from the station and others getting dropped off in rickshaws. It is a busy place, especially on Mondays when the lobby gets really crowded. We don’t have those fancy glass elevators or anything, just plain corridors and a lot of people trying to get their work done. The nurses are usually running around with charts and the doctors are always in a hurry. I guess it is just the way things are in a big place like this. Sometimes the power goes out for a second before the generator kicks in, and everyone just keeps going like nothing happened. We just focus on the daily stuff, making sure the registers are filled and the benches are clean for the next person. It is just a regular part of life here in Tambaram. We are right at 103 GST Road, and you can’t really miss the sign when you are driving past. It feels like a small village inside the hospital sometimes because everyone sort of knows each other.
