Consultant Ent Command Hospital

If you come down to Alipore, you will find us at the Command Hospital. We are specifically the ENT department here. Dealing with ears, noses, and throats keeps us quite busy throughout the week. It is a military hospital setting, so things run in a specific way. The building has been around for a long time. People come in with all sorts of issues, like hearing problems or chronic sinus trouble that won't go away. Sometimes it’s just a kid who stuck something in their nose. Alipur is a well-known area and being part of this hospital means we see a lot of staff and their families. We don't do much fancy advertising or anything like that. We just show up and do the work that needs doing. The hallways can be long and sometimes it takes a minute to find the right room. We have our diagnostic tools and we spend a lot of time looking into ears and checking throats. It gets noisy in the corridors sometimes but the consultation rooms are generally quiet enough. We see patients from early morning until the afternoon shift ends. It is a steady flow of people. Working in ENT means we have to be patient and listen to what people are feeling. That is just how the day goes here in Alipore. We are just part of the larger hospital team working every day.
