Akal Eye Hospital

Over here at 606-R Mall Road in the Model Town area of Jalandhar, we run Akal Eye Hospital. This part of Jalandhar is usually pretty active, especially in the evenings. Our hospital isn't the biggest, but we use the space we have. We have a few exam rooms and a place where people can sit while they wait their turn. The floors are tiled and we try to keep them shining, though the rain in Punjab often brings in some dirt. We have a staff of a few people who have been here for years. We know the regulars who come in for their yearly checkups. On Mall Road, there are plenty of shops nearby, so sometimes people drop off their relatives and go do some errands. We have a small water station in the corner for anyone feeling thirsty. The paperwork is kept in large green folders on the shelves. It’s a simple system that works for us. We don’t use much technology for the filing, mostly just pens and paper. The windows are usually covered with thin curtains to keep the glare out, which helps when we are testing eyes. It feels like a local spot because most of our patients live right here in Model Town or close by. We just take it one day at a time, seeing who comes through the door at 606-R. We make sure to sweep the front area every morning before the first person arrives.
