Deepak Memorial Hospital

If you’ve ever driven down Vikas Marg Extension, you know how the traffic can get during the rush hour. We are tucked away in the Institutional Area at number 5. It’s a bit quieter back here than on the main road, which is nice for the patients. The building itself is pretty straightforward. It’s got that look of a place that’s seen a lot of people come and go over the years. We have nurses who have worked here for a decade and they know exactly where everything is kept, even if the filing system looks a bit messy to an outsider. It’s not one of those hospitals that looks like a hotel. It’s more of a place where you see families sitting on the benches, sharing snacks while they wait. The elevators can be a bit slow sometimes, especially when the shifts change. We usually have a lot of walk-ins from the nearby residential colonies. It’s just part of the daily routine here. The doctors mostly just want to get to their rounds and the receptionists are always on the phone. We don’t really do much in the way of big announcements or shiny posters. It’s just a hospital doing its job in this corner of Delhi. Most days are predictable, but occasionally it gets really hectic and everyone is running around trying to keep up.
