Dr O Y Patil Hospital

We are situated in Kadamwadi, not too far from Bharti Viddhapith. The hospital is a fairly large building compared to the small clinics nearby. It’s always a bit hectic here, with people coming and going at all hours. We have different wards and a reception area that stays busy throughout the day. The hallways are long and painted a light green color that’s supposed to be calming. We have a lot of staff members, from nurses to cleaners, and we all know each other well. It’s a community within itself. The smell of disinfectant is something you just get used to after your first week working here. We spend a lot of our shifts checking on patients and updating charts. There is a lot of walking involved because the building is spread out. The chairs in the lobby are usually full by mid-morning. We don't have any fancy art on the walls, just some notices and signs pointing to different departments. Kadamwadi is a lively area, and being near the university means there is always traffic and activity outside our gates. Sometimes the power backup kicks in with a loud hum when the electricity goes out. It’s a busy, working hospital with no frills. We just focus on making sure everyone gets seen and the rooms are kept clean. It’s hard work, but it’s what we do every day without much fuss. The staff here in Kadamwadin is like a big family most of the time.
