Isapure Orthopaedic Hospital

Over at Isapure Orthopaedic Hospital in Lokmanya Tilak Nagar, we spend most of our time dealing with bones and joints. If someone has a bad fall or a knee that won't stop aching, they usually end up here. The hospital is tucked into the neighborhood, and it stays quite active. You’ll see people on crutches or with their arms in slings waiting around. It’s a bit of a specific kind of place because we don't do everything, just the ortho stuff mostly. The doctors are always looking at X-rays and talking about bones. We have a few wards for people who need to stay after a surgery, so the nurses are always on their toes. Lokmanya Tilak Nagar is a lived-in area, so we get a lot of older folks who just have the wear and tear of age. The building has that hospital smell of disinfectant, which we’ve all gotten used to by now. It’s not a glamorous job, especially when you’re helping someone learn to walk again, but it’s important work. We keep the equipment ready and the surgical tools clean. There’s a lot of mundane stuff too, like fixing the schedules and dealing with the billing desk. It’s a focused environment. We aren’t trying to be anything other than a place where you go to get your bones fixed. It’s just us, the patients, and a lot of plaster for casts. We stay busy from morning until late at night.
