Trishala Clinic

You can find us on the ground floor at numbers 95 and 97 on Bhandari Street. It’s right in the Masjid Bunder West area. This part of town is always packed with trucks and people carrying stuff to the wholesale markets. Our clinic is right in the middle of all that hustle and bustle. We have two units knocked into one, so there’s a bit more room than some of the other shops nearby. The walls are painted a simple white, though they have some scuffs from the chairs hitting them over the years. We’ve got a small area where people wait, and the chairs are just basic plastic ones. It isn't the quietest place because of all the street traffic outside, but once you’re inside, it feels a lot different. I usually sit near the front to check people in as they arrive. We use a lot of handwritten ledgers because it's just easier for us than using the computer for everything. There’s a ceiling fan that wobbles a bit on the high setting, but it does its job well enough. Most people who come here are workers from the nearby wholesale shops or residents from the apartments upstairs. We see a lot of coughs and minor injuries mostly. We don't put on any airs here. It’s just a place to get checked out. If the door is open, we’re usually working. It’s a busy life on Bhandari Street, but we like being right here where the action is every day.
