Nair Hospital

This is the Department of Psychiatry at Nair Hospital. It’s a specific part of the bigger hospital building. Working here is different from working in the surgery or emergency wards. It’s often a bit quieter in some ways but much busier in others. We deal with the stuff people don't always like to talk about. The hallways are usually full of doctors and residents trying to figure out the best way to help someone get their head right. We don’t have fancy decorations on the walls; it’s mostly just functional space for talking and observing. Being part of Nair Hospital means we are always part of a bigger machine, but our department feels like its own little world. We see people from all walks of life. Some are having a really hard time, and others are just here for a check-in. It’s a lot of listening. Sometimes the days feel very long, especially when we are short-staffed or when there are a lot of new admissions. We just take it one patient at a time. There’s no magic fix for most of what we see, just hard work and patience. The staff here is used to the routine, even when things get unpredictable. It’s a necessary part of the hospital, even if it’s tucked away in its own corner. We stay busy and we keep our focus on the patients every single day.
