In A Hospital Billing Section

People usually find us at Plot No. 160 in Hills Colony. We spend most of our time staring at computer screens or looking for lost papers in the office. Billing is just one of those things that has to happen in a hospital, even if nobody likes doing it much. Vanasthalipuram is a busy area, so there is always someone coming through the door with a question about their bill or some insurance stuff. The office isn't very big at all. We have a couple of desks pushed together and some filing cabinets that probably should have been replaced years ago. It gets a bit hot in the afternoons when the sun hits the front window. We try to keep things moving so people don't have to wait too long, but sometimes the system is slow and there is nothing we can really do about it except wait. Most of us have lived around here for a long time. We know the shortcuts to get home and where to get the best tea during our short breaks. It is a lot of counting and checking numbers twice. If a mistake happens, someone usually notices pretty quick. We don't have fancy furniture or anything like that. It is just a regular place where we get the paperwork sorted out. Sometimes it's quiet, but usually, it's just the sound of the printer going and people talking in the hallway. We just show up, do the entries, and go home at the end of the day.
