Sdld Ipgme&R / Sskm Hospital Kolkata - 700020

Being up on the 4th floor of the SDLD Building at IPGME means we see a lot of people every day coming through those doors. Down in Kolkata, things are always moving fast, and this hospital is no different. It’s a huge place, really. We are part of the SSKM setup, which everyone around here knows well. Usually, the mornings start pretty early with patients waiting in the corridors before the sun is even fully up. It gets a bit crowded sometimes, especially near the elevators, so many of us just end up taking the stairs to the fourth floor to save time. We’ve been here a while now, handling whatever comes through. It’s mostly about getting through the lists and making sure everyone gets seen. The building itself has that old feel you find in these big government medical colleges, but we make it work as best as we can. Outside, the traffic on the main roads is always loud and chaotic, but once you get up here, it’s a bit more focused on the work at hand. We see people from far away districts who travel all night just to reach us by dawn. It involves a lot of paperwork and talking to families who are worried about their loved ones. We don’t have fancy lounges or anything like that. Just chairs, desks, and the medical equipment we need for our daily tasks. It’s honest work, and we just try to keep things moving every single day.
