Charnock Hospital & Reasearch

Down here on New Town Approach Road, things always seem to be moving fast. This place, Charnock Hospital & Research, is where a lot of us spend our entire day and sometimes our nights too. It is a bit of a long name to say when we are answering the phones, so we usually just shorten it down when we are talking amongst ourselves in the breakroom. Besides the regular hospital rooms where the patients stay, we have these labs in the back where people are always looking at slides or typing data into some old computers. It feels a bit different than a normal clinic because of all that extra paperwork and the quiet rooms tucked away in the back of the building. The place has its own quirks, like that one light that always flickers in the side hallway or the way the air conditioning makes a low humming sound all day long. We try to keep things organized, but on busy Mondays, the waiting area gets pretty full and it can be hard to keep track of every single name on the list. We have a mix of young people just starting out and some older staff who have been around since the doors first opened. The lunchroom is where we all end up eventually, talking about the traffic on the way in or what is happening in the news. It is not a glamorous job, but it feels fine to be part of the local neighborhood.
