Stanley Medical College

Stanley is a name that most people in Chennai are very familiar with. We are located at No. 2 B Munusamy Garden, right near the John Vasu Street Extension. It’s a very busy part of town, and there is always something going on around here. You see students or people heading to the hospital side at all hours of the day. The air is typical for Chennai—hot, humid, and full of the sounds of the city. Our buildings have these long, old corridors that have seen many generations of doctors pass through. It’s a medical college, so the atmosphere is usually quite serious. Students are always carrying heavy books or rushing around in their white coats. We don’t have any time for fancy frills or modern corporate styles. The work is difficult and the hours are long for everyone. I have seen so many groups of students come and go over the years. They often stay in the library until very late at night. The neighborhood around us is packed with small shops and little places to eat, so it’s right in the middle of the action. The fans in the lecture halls are always spinning to fight the heat. It is an old institution, and you can really feel that history in the walls. We just keep the place running, making sure the labs are ready and the schedules are posted on the boards. It’s a lot of work to coordinate everything across the campus. We just do our bit every day.
