Calcutta Poly Clinic

Calcutta Poly Clinic is tucked away at P-21 Raja Raj Krishna Street. The street is a bit narrow, so it feels more like a local neighborhood spot than a big institution. Inside, the clinic is divided into several small rooms where different doctors sit during their hours. We have a central waiting area that can get pretty cramped when it is raining outside or when several doctors have patients scheduled at the same time. The furniture is a mix of different styles we have collected over the years. We use a lot of paper for our records, so there are stacks of files and folders almost everywhere you look. The receptionist has a small desk near the main door and spends most of the day talking to people or writing things down in the ledger. It is a noisy place sometimes, with children playing on the street outside and the constant sound of fans inside. We try to keep everything as organized as we can, but with so many different things going on at once, it can be a real challenge. The walls are a bit yellowed from time, and the floor has some cracks here and there. It is a real, working clinic that has been part of the community for a long time. We do not have any fancy goals. We just show up, open the doors, and do the work that needs to be done for the people who walk in.
