Citizens Specialty Hospital

The hospital sits at 1-100/1/Cch, right near the Aparna Sarovar area. It’s a part of the city that has grown quite a lot recently, so there’s always construction noise or new buildings popping up nearby. Inside here, the pace is different. We have nurses moving quickly between rooms and the sound of carts rolling over the linoleum floors. It’s a specialty hospital, so we see a variety of cases every day. Sometimes the lobby gets crowded with families waiting, and it can get a bit loud, but that’s just how it is in a place like this. The staff tries to keep up with the paperwork, though the stacks on the desks never seem to get any smaller. We spend our shifts checking monitors and talking to patients about their recovery. The lighting is that bright fluorescent kind that never really lets you know what time it is outside. We have a small canteen that serves tea and snacks, which is usually the busiest spot in the building. It’s a serious environment because of the work we do, but you’ll often hear the staff joking around in the breakroom just to blow off some steam. We’ve been at this location for a while now, and we’ve seen the neighborhood change through the windows. It’s a lot of hard work and long hours, but it’s what we do here near the lake. We keep going because there is always another patient coming in.
